ANA WILLERDING – Palma da Mão

“The proposal of the workshop will be to use some displacement that you do on foot, to do it with this more attentive look to what you don’t usually notice. The intention is to manipulate your attention to detail. When doing this route, now more attentive, you should choose an object that somehow catches your attention and register it. Remember that they are objects that can easily fit in the palm of your hand.”

CARINA PESCH – Distant Walk

A walkshop that takes place in different places – wherever the participants are – but simultaneously. Different places, spaces, and timezones become connected and will be reimagined by the participants.

Time: 4pm-6pm (Leipzig/Germany time, UTC+2) respectively 3pm-5pm (Guimarães/Portugal time, UTC+1). All you need, is a mobile device (like a smartphone) with either the zoom app installed, enough mobile data, and a stable internet connection or a phone connection. You will join an audio chat and be connected. Before the start, there will be an introduction to a voice impro technique called Automatic Speaking that was invented by sound artist Antje Vowinckel. It is a fusion of écriture automatique (transferred to spoken word) and musique concrète (transferred to language).

All participants will start walking together wherever they are, and one of eight performer-participants at a time will be talking without pause, describing everything that can be perceived in the surrounding and within. The others will listen while walking. The walkshop will be closed by a reflexion round where participants may share their experiences and imaginations.
Everything will be in English.
Participation is for free – PLEASE REGISTER: walk.lab2pt@gmail.com.

ROSIE MONTFORD with MÓNICA FARIA – Weaving a Path/ go with me

‘Vade mecum’ is a Latin term meaning literally: go with me. It has been in use since 1629 to describe guidebooks or manuals compact enough that they can be carried in a deep pocket and to which constant reference can be made.

I propose to show the value of carrying such a book around with you as you follow a route:  

Taking the concept of ‘vade mecum’, but transposing it from its origins as a personal book to instead becoming a collective fabric:  we will individually work en route, sewing and threading a continuous strip of sewing canvas using thread, wool, string, cord and anything suitable we find, as well as drawing directly on to the canvas, using our pockets to carry materials.

We will weave a path that records the surfaces of our walk, the textile to become a shared medium through which the group can stitch and weave their own experience of encountering the environment as we individually and collectively meander through and along the passageways of our route.

You will need to be wearing clothing with accessible pockets in which to carry materials:

1m. length of canvas, 10cm. in height, sewing canvas or a strip of cotton

Pencil, felt tip, oil pastel, wide- eyed needle, sewing threads, cord, wool, string, raffia  cut into manageable lengths, scissors.

Try and make it an early morning walk: Choose a route 1- 2 hours duration that includes narrow passages and alleyways.  Use movement, fluidity and lightness of touch as you dart and dive between the streets. Make pauses to stop and record your route directly onto the fabric. On your return, you can elaborate further with more stitching and detail.

Email an image of your completed strip so that I can ‘stitch’ them together to form a shared continuous route to submit to the online exhibition. Please include your name and location for the piece. rosiemontford@hotmail.com.

Round Table II, on July 23nd at 18h30 – 20 h BST.

“I am women.x when I walk”envolve três gestos performativos – caminhando sozinho, caminhando com outra pessoa e ir embora – numa perspectiva interseccional feminista. O painel aborda práticas de caminhada solitária, percepções de medo, reivindicações de espaços públicos, protestos, re-mapeamentos subjetivos e coletivos de empreendimentos urbanos. Como as práticas artísticas de passeio revelam e / ou suspendem a configuração regular de gênero de espaços seguros e não seguros? Como eles se entrelaçam ou perturbam as narrativas oficiais das práticas artísticas ambulantes? A que eles resistem / emancipam?

Moderadores: Federica Martini e Natacha Moutinho

A soundwalk in Houston (on distance) and live walking conversation with Karen O’Rourke

together with Yannis Ziogas and Geert Vermeire

July, 24th -17-18h BST

Karen O’Rourke (USA) is an artist and emeritus professor at Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne. Her work explores the relationship between artistic practice and the concepts of network, archive and territory. Her art and network projects include City Portraits (1989-92), Paris Réseau / Paris Network (1993-2000), Archiving as art (1997-2000), A Map Larger Than the Territory (2002-2004), Eavesdroplets (2006 ), Partially Buried University (2008-2010) and Artists Bearing Gifts (2013-).

Karen O’Rourke’s work explores the relationship between art practice and the concepts of network, archive and territory. Her art and network projects include City Portraits (1989-92), Paris Réseau / Paris Network (1993-2000), archiving as art (1997-2000), A Map Larger Than the Territory (2002-2004), Eavesdroplets (2006),  Partially Buried University (2008-2010) and Artists Bearing Gifts (2013–). Her theoretical research on contemporary art has led to a series of articles and resulted in two works of synthesis. The first, Walking and Mapping: Artists as Cartographers was published by the MIT Press in 2013. In it, she explores a series of walking/mapping projects by contemporary artists. Some chart “emotional GPS”; some use satellites for creating landscapes made of data –“datascapes”– while others use their legs to do “speculative mapping.” The second, Des arts-réseaux aux dérives programmées : actualité de « l’art comme expérience » (From art networks to programmed drifts: the topicality of “art as experience”), is an adaptation of her habilitation thesis. Earlier publications include Paris Réseau/Paris Network (2000), a bilingual CD-Rom, Archiving as Art (2000), an exhibition catalogue, Art-Réseaux (1992), an edited book documenting the collaborative activities of the Art-Réseaux group in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

She is an emeritus Professor at Jean Monnet University (Saint-Etienne). With three colleagues at the University of Paris 1 – Panthéon-Sorbonne and partners in France and abroad, she has recently developed a research project called The End of Maps ? Dream Territories, Standardized Territories which  involved a series of workshops, a conference, and a book to be published by the Publications universitaires de Provence.

Round Table III, on July 24nd at 18h30 – 20 h BST.

Walking Narratives: the body as a carrier of stories

The round table introduces different walking narratives distinct in the way they are developed, due to the different processes they are unfolded in.

Stories are carried in memory and remain existing for as long as there is a body to bear them. Walking is not characterized by one solid approach; it can be drifting, wandering, strolling, aimless, or purposeful. Each one of these practices suggests a body that remembers and they are introducing different approaches of storytelling.

Barthes talks about narrative as a human condition, present at all times, at all places, in all societies. Walking is becoming aware, of the physical conditions of the environment, of the creation of an own space in relation to the act of walking. The walker (re)composes and writes the landscape through walking, in a multimodal and multidimensional manner, or to refer to Certeau: walking is writing without being able to see the text. This makes the landscape migrational, metaphorical. A narration can be the outcome of a scenario set by the creative walker to be applied in various places and on several occasions.
