Dear WAN List,

Could any of you share some knowledge about Walking projects you know about
or have experienced?

Walks of Life is a walking appreciation project for and with people from
all walks of life. It aims to work both locally and internationally with a
variety of artists and other professionals who offer new perspectives on
engaging with walking.  The programme will include events, research
residencies and artist commissions in the town of  Huntly, Scotland and
further afield to explore environment through walking art and related
disciplines.

The Walks of Life programme is in its initial stages of development. We are
currently designing an online resource and active library for people to
search for past art projects that have a strong context or relationship to
walking within the work. We want this to be a lively online library for
people to promote the work they have made and to celebrate the many artists
working with act of walking.
We are collecting as much information and research as we can,but know that
a lot work we don't know about is out there!

Looking for Contributions and knowledge gathering

If you are an artist, institution or organisation and have work or know of
some interesting walking art works/ projects/artist books/
symposiums/events you think should be included on this online library then
please do send information about the projects. We are inviting the artistic
community to tell us about projects that may be difficult to find through
general research and archiving.

Ideally send the following information:
-Name of artist
-contact email (if you want this to be included online)
-Date of event
-Website link (if available)
-Image for upload onto database
-ISBN/Publishers of any publications
-any other info you think is relevant

NB: For WAN members we would hope you would want to be included in the
library, if not then do let me know. if you want to include specific
details of works then send as info above.

We are particularly keen to know of any projects that have happened
Internationally or outside of the EU and off the WWW radar.

The online library will be up and running in a few months time as well as a
whole programme of events and new commissions. Please keep your eye on the
development of the Walks of Life programme at www.deveron-art.com

Many Thanks
