About

The Art of Walking: a field guide is the first extensive survey of walking in contemporary art. An introduction relates peripatetic art now to a wide range of historic precedents, and is followed by a series of visually led Walks dealing with seven overlapping themes: footprints and lines; writers and philosophers; marches and processions; aliens, dandies and drifters; slapstick; studios, museums and biennales; and dog walkers. The guide includes newly commissioned art and writing, and many artists have been actively involved in the design of their respective pages.
