Ways to Wander the Gallery
 
In the summer of 2017, Clare Qualmann and Clare Hind led a series of workshops at Tate Modern looking at the relationship between walking, art, experimental writing and composition. They then invited each participant to create a page for Ways to Wander the Gallery.
 
This book asks readers to reconsider their walked relationship with art through the concept of the Wander Score and includes reflections on our relationship to the ‘consumption’ of art in the gallery space.
 
How playful and embodied can our wandering be in spaces that often make our feet ache? This is an invitation to try 25 different ways to wander in and well beyond the art gallery inspired by the work of artists Rebecca Horn, Bruce Nauman, Hito Steyerl, Janet Cardiff, Julie Mehretu and others.
 
With additional contributions from artists Cathy Turner, Kris Darby and Blake Morris who responded to artworks at Tate Britain, Tate Modern and Tate St Ives.
 
This book is designed to pop in your pocket, share with friends, use in teaching or your own workshops, go on a hike, and return to the gallery. You can read and interpret each Wander Score as instruction, or as poetry or make each one a performance. It is for walkers and anyone who makes, or wants to make, walking art or walk-performances – and for anyone interested in psychogeography, radical walking, drift and dérive.
