Final Huntly Art Reader and nearly nearly website launch

by Rocca Gutteridge, 26 Jul 2011

For my final Huntly Art Reader I chose to present the website I’m working on and near finishing for my Deveron Arts residency.

The site launches at the end of the month but in a nutshell myself and Deveron Arts are aiming to put together a comprehensive online living, growing archive of all things to do with walking…

Walking and… Art, Borders, Comedy, Competitions, Death, Dogs, Equipment, Freedom, Politics, Processions, Women… you name it, we’re covering it.

The idea came from an initial desire to explore walking’s relationship to art and vica versa but to the nature of socially engaged Arts organisation Deveron Arts and my own preference we decided to drop the sole focus on Art and look to the wider web that walking covers.

It’s a bit like an online version of Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust…
I’ll post up the finished piece at the end of the week!
