The agency of pedestrianism in the realm of civic creativity has become a major tool for contemporary art, particularly since the 60s. Walk Ways explores this theme of walking as an action and a metaphor. From Eleanor Antin, Janine Antoni, Janet Cardiff and Hamish Fulton to Martin Kersels, Nancy Spero, Richard Wentworth and others, the artists in Walk Ways consider walking as a purposeful or meandering activity that unites bodily and mental freedom, and "the walk" as a means of commenting on human agency, politics, geography and history.
