Statements
The artists to whom I refer do not have to be well known.
The articles from which I quote should be easily available.
I am exploring the connection between the arts and the walk.
I need evidence to prove that there is/there can be/there has been a connection.
I will collect evidence from books, videos, articles and the internet.
Questions
Walking with/without purpose [can anyone really have a purpose?].
What is/are he/she/it/I/they/we scanning for?
What artistic practices might take place on or be inspired by the artist making/taking a walk?
What are artistic practices?
What is inspiration?
I must match art types with walking.
Example: the use of a walk to a sound artist might be the recording of sound.
The use of a walk to a writer might be the documentation of a town in the present, or research, architectural clues. Fiction likes effort and authenticity in responsible doses.
I have emailed the author Helen Scalway asking for references. I am ordering a book of famous people talking about walking. But are they academics? Are they reliable and respectable knowledge givers? Are they mere humans with words coming out of them? Bollocks to this most pompous of intellectual pursuits. I enjoy the effortless life of the philistine once more.
