Abstract
Walking can be thought of as a medium just like painting, printmaking or sculpture so the crucial question is: What happens once the walk commences? There would usually be a strategy employed when approaching the walk unless the plan is to deliberately dispense with strategies. The strategy can involve observations and responses to the location the walk takes place within or, alternatively, can relate to discussions with fellow walkers or even communication with other participants walking simultaneously in remote locations. These communications, along with observations of the locale, can be transmitted and/or recorded to form an archive of the activity or even the basis for a future, related piece of work. This poster outlines six strategies for approaching performative walks.
