Art Walks

National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives

11 September — 27 December 2002

Because of the temporal nature of the subject matter — all walks are finite — the documentation and associated props become, in time, surrogates for the work. The books, cards, tapes and multiples from the Library's collections presented here include some instances where the walker's field notes have been woven into the production of the work itself.
