For @bbcarts #CultureinQuarantine here's a thread on my collaboration with #ClaireHind #WaysToWanderTheGallery developed out of an @ahrcpress networks project, and was delivered with @Tate in 2017 #MuseumFromHome 1/5

'Ways to Wander the Gallery' built on work gathered together in the 2014 book 'Ways to Wander'; a collection of 54 suggestions, instructions, guidelines & ideas for going on a walk, written by members of the #WalkingArtistsNetwork #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 2/5

#WaysToWanderTheGallery explored the connections between walking, art, experimental writing & composition through a series of workshops @Tate Modern. We wanted to think about the gallery, & the page, as sites for walking & creativity. #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 3/5

Each week our workshops @Tate modern instigated unusual encounters with artworks using walking art methods; we 'danced' a @JulieMehretu painting and we played hide & seek around @HitoSteyerl's 'How not to be seen' #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 4/5

At the end of the @Tate workshops we edited a new book 'Ways to Wander the Gallery', a collection of 'wander scores' (instructions for walks) - many of which can be conducted anywhere! #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 5/5

'Ways to Wander' in turn triggered a project by the artist Blake Morris (@formerfresnan ) 'A Wander is not a Slog' walking each of the book's 54 scores over the course of a year, documented here thisisnotaslog.com/A-Wander-is-no… #WalkingArtistsNetwork #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome
