WAP24/WALKING AS PRACTIVE
Exposition developed by individual artists with in the framework of WAP24.
JUNE EDITION: John Schuerman, co-curator/lead walker
SEPTEMBER EDITION: Antonia Aitken, co-curator/lead walker
The walking scene in Sweden is in the forming or resurfacing. The purpose with this process-based program is to invite (inter)national artists to further this development together with a core-group connected to Björkö Konstnod/BKN. WAP methodology of fieldworks and share sessions are carried out to locate and entangle structures, narratives and forces via the intersection of the arts and walking.
The curatorial framework opens up for participating artists to influence the direction and leaned towards new materialism, ie rethinking dualisms through a non-hierarchal approach. Reviewing the development (share sessions, walks, and work made available to public), ”Spaces of Anticipation” is the theme for WAP24. We also foresee that after WAP24 the platform could continue to focus on aspects of artistic research at the cusp of walking and the arts. In 2023 the focus was on "Attentive Walking"

August 1st 2024, at 5 pm (Rome time) six artists made an artistic intervention to manifest the fact that it was exactly 100 years ago since the Surrealists began their walks for disorienting the urban space and walking without itinerary. They often began their walk while drinking champagne. Artistic walking was at that time also part of the Olympics, and competing walkers were asked to drink champagne to have a healthy body.
As critical as we - as walking artists - are of the excluding and privileged white men's walks in Paris, we do want to acknowledge important walking acts where art and the city were involved. We thus invite other walking artist to create inclusive walks, drinking whatever drink preferable, on each August 1sts from now on until another onehundred years.

Sculpture You is an act of becoming, an ongoing process of altering your senses and to reflect upon the attention, respect and care you invest while walking the sculpture trail. During the first act you transform into a temporary sculpture. During the second act you perform a ritual in front of each sculpture on the trail. For each of the acts, read through instructions prior to doing the movements.
