Using walking as a means to experience place, body, and mind, this thematic residency brings together eight artists to explore the notion of wandering as an aesthetic practice. The fjord, rivers, mountains, valleys, routes, and paths of Seyðisfjörður will provide participants with an arena in which to move and reflect on ideas of space, time, and memory—allowing walks and wanderings to inform their artistic process. Through a series of group hikes (approximately every other day), reading groups, hands-on workshops, casual conversations, and fieldwork, artists will share their sensitivities to place, focusing on process and research rather than on finished production. Participants can expect to participate in 3-4 days of group activities per week, with 3-4 days of self-directed practice. The residency will conclude with an informal presentation of work-in-progress.
