WALKING AS ART FORM

The walkers are part of WAPC/Walking As Practice Collective, a group of artists dedicated to traversing spaces, rethinking and critiquing systematic constraints. In motion, they challenge norms and propose the distribution of agency by deploying vulnerability as a strategy for togetherness.

The walkers are easy to find wearing WAP orange vests with “Walking As Practice” on the back.

Title of walking program:
WALKING WITH PASSION
Curator: John Schuerman
Co-curated with Berg Duo.

Curator’s Statement for Walking AS Passion for Supermarket 2025:

Produced by the Walking As Practice Collective (WAPC)

There are two broad categories of walking-art events: active vs. passive engagement for participants. For the Walking As Passion events at Supermarket 2025, I selected two active engagement walks, i.e. where the art is realized through the movements of the participants, and one passive walk where the participants are guided through space and cued to use their imagination to realize the artwork. I like that there are choices for people. So, whether you like to be physically part of the performance or not, there is walking-art for you to participate in. 

Of course, both forms of walking events are artwork, and as such they are created to elicit emotional and intellectual responses.  This psychic movement is also part of why we love art. It is the chance to grow a little, as human beings and fee the joy of that! As artists often do, the WAP25 artists will challenge the norms for walking in public spaces and ask you to think about the space, place and your codified ‘rules’ for moving in society. Wherever your imagination takes you, or whatever responsive feelings or thoughts arise for you, these too, will be the art.

WAPC artists walk in urban and rural spaces in many parts of the world. We call a place home, as we are among friends. The artists and curators walked together in 2023, dissemination in individual expositions at Research Catalogue >>>
