The recent walk on 21 March with artist Mike Nelson quickly became fully booked, attracting over 40 people, including\u00a0curators from Tate Modern and the Whitechapel, a curator of the Architecture Biennial in Venice, filmmakers,\u00a0writers, poets, artists and students.<\/p>\n<p>Says Adam Chodzko, Senior Lecturer in Fine Art in The School of Music &amp; Fine Art and one of the organisers:\u00a0<em>\u201cMike Nelson is one of the UK&#8217;s most important artists. Twice nominated for the Turner Prize and previously\u00a0representing Britain at the Venice Biennale, it was his dislike of public speaking that led to us developing this different approach (walking) in order\u00a0to develop a different kind\u00a0of discourse\u00a0between students and artists and place.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The 4 walks aim to test the proposition that a walking journey with an artist is as valuable as hearing them address a lecture theatre, and that sharing a range of sights and sounds would reveal something that slides and video clips do not.\u00a0 Each route culminates at a point along the Medway estuary or river Swale, forming a string of reference points between which the connections between the walks can be contemplated.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For images from the walk go to:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mikenelsonartistwalk.tumblr.com\/\">http:\/\/mikenelsonartistwalk.tumblr.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The final walk with <strong>Brian Dillon is on 9 April.
