The Participatory Walk as a New Performative Framework

The Participatory Walk as a New Performative Framework

Artists who have led walks with Elastic City will talk about how their other work has been informed by leading a participatory walk. How does the walk function in harmony with and in contrast to the artists’ primary discipline and their ways of working? What makes for a successful walk? Is this a viable form? Hyperallergic Senior Editor Jillian Steinhauer will provide context for the walk in relation to the growing trend of participation in art.

Featuring:
luciana achugar
Miguel Gutierrez
Todd Shalom (moderator)
Jillian Steinhauer
