Exhibition: Artist who walk

Exhibotion image

Walking is a way of locomotion that goes beyond the necessary movement. A way to escape the treadmill that life is quite often. Artists can put their work into perspective while walking. Some artists go a step further and make walking their practice.

A special part of this exhibition is walking past the artworks themselves. No shuffling from one work to another. Traversing the exhibition can be experienced as a walk, a unique, personal experience. An exclusive work of art for you alone, which you take home with you in your memories.

Welcome to the exhibition ‘Artists who walk’. During this ‘walk’ you will meet the various artists.

Walking piece

Walking in circles

When you are lost, it seems a good idea to walk a straight line. This piece reflects my experiment: for seven consecutive days I walked the same circle in the desert. Don’t we all walk in circles in our own lives, thinking we are going straight?

DOOR NOORD

Liesje vd Berk invites residents to explore their surroundings in a unique way: by walking and drawing with all their senses. At the end of each walk, participants share one of their drawings in an exhibition, creating a new map of Amsterdam North.

Seven walks

The author conducted a daily walk along the same route for seven consecutive days, recording the ambient sound each time. They then created a compilation by layering all seven recordings, synchronizing their footsteps via headphones to align the tracks.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
