The Memorial Walks

The Memorial Walks is a record of a unique project, in which artist Simon Pope invited a series of writers to memorise a scene from a landscape painting, which they would then be asked to recall while out walking in the open country.

To Walk

To Walk is a poster project by Richard Wentworth featuring his characteristically anonymous photographs of places in England, distributed in towns such as Charleston, Ramsgate, and Rochester as an invitation for the public to walk and re-engage with their urban and rural surroundings.

Explorer

Rachael Clewlow’s Explorer (2011) visualizes her daily movements through the city using colour-coded tracks. Based on her “‘statistical diaries’,” it transforms walking patterns into abstract forms and colours, mapping mobility as art.

Still Visible After Gezi

In Still Visible After Gezi, Roberley Bell documents 16 Istanbul trees photographed in 2010 and revisited in 2015. The installation traces memory, survival, and urban change, using frames to show each tree’s past, present, and absence after the city’s transformations.

Walking the Edge invited NYC residents to explore and reimagine 520 miles of shoreline through solo or virtual walks, using artist-led prompts to inspire ideas for the future waterfront and inform the city’s Comprehensive Waterfront Plan.

Walking the Edge was initially envisioned as a participatory non-stop relay walk of all 520 miles of New York City shoreline. Walking the Edge (Covid edition) launched the Works on Water Triennial 20/21. Artists produced weekly prompts (activity suggestions or questions) that invited city residents to explore their water’s edges and engage in imagining changes for those edges – virtually or on solo walks. Responses from the public will help us think boldly and imaginatively about the future of the waterfront and share ideas that will inform the city’s next Comprehensive Waterfront Plan.
