Sound walk

Deutung 3.0

Simon Deuter - art historian, curator or artist himself? - offers a highly entertaining audio tour of Kassel with Deutung 3.0. The art tour starts with informative reflections on various works of art in public space. Then Deuter gradually lets you in on closely guarded secrets of the art world. But he also seems to be pursuing his own goals. Only which ones? And what role do you play?

The webpage "Selected Projects" on Lerjen Tours' website presents a curated overview of specialized walking and cultural tours primarily located in Iceland. These projects emphasize immersive experiences that combine natural landscapes with cultural heritage, showcasing routes and itineraries designed to explore Iceland’s unique geography, history, and folklore. The descriptions include details about the thematic focus of each project, such as historical pathways, religious pilgrimages, and nature-based routes, reflecting an integration of landscape and cultural geography. Each selected project is detailed with specific attention to its geographical setting, cultural significance, and historical context, illustrating the connection between place and narrative. The site also highlights collaborative efforts and research activities linked to academic or local cultural institutions, situating the tours within a broader framework of cultural preservation and interpretation. These projects collectively articulate a walking art approach, where movement through the landscape is used as a method of engaging with and understanding cultural environments.

Memento mori: a walk through Soho

Using John Snow's 1854 report on cholera, this walk is an opportunity to re-see Soho, to look with new eyes at the people around us and at ourselves, all of us flesh-covered bones whose hearts are still beating. Remember death, remember life.
