Conversation with Bruce W. Ferguson in Los Angeles, 2016
The landmark exhibition, Walking and Thinking and Walking, curated by Bruce W. Ferguson, first appeared in 1996 at the Louisiana Art Museum in Denmark, where it set out to investigate the politics of moving through the space of the museum in attentive, distracted, and reflexive ways. The Museum of Walking recreates the exhibition in mimeograph, with original catalogue essay by Rebecca Solnit; author of Wanderlaust: A History of Walking.
