In December 2024, DRAW Space will present Group Show / WALK WITH ME, an exhibition by eight artist-researchers who use walking as a deliberate strategy to reveal and disseminate new knowledge. The exhibition will open at 6pm on Thursday 28 November. Join the artists and DRAW Space team to celebrate. Once the primary mode of transport, part of the continuum of human history, walking in the First World is now consciously chosen, an act of resistance against loss of time, space and embodiment. Since the 1960s, when art transitioned from object-making to an investigation of ideas, valuing process over product, opportunities arose for the artist to see the body as a medium and walking as an ordinary activity from which the extraordinary can be derived. Curated by walking artist, Melinda Hunt, WALK WITH ME will present six projects that foreground preoccupations with and responses to habitat loss and species extinction, connection with urban ecologies, the colonial project, artistic and scientific activity centred on walking, and site-specific atmospheres, among other concerns. Each project generates drawing as an output. To find out more about individual projects, read the artist statements on the DRAW Space website - www.drawspace.org
