Description

Wanderlust Actions, Traces, Journeys 1967-2017 by Rachel Adams is a comprehensive survey of artists who have used travel as a catalyst for their creative work. This book presents the work of under-recognized pioneers alongside well-known counterparts, showcasing a range of processes and collaborative approaches. The exhibition accompanying this book highlights the ways in which artists have used non-traditional methods to create art, such as Nancy Holt's documentation of trail markers in the English countryside or Vito Acconci's exploration of public space through preconceived actions. Richard Long's A Line Made by Walking (1967) and Ana Mendieta's Silueta Works in Mexico (1977) are also featured, demonstrating how the walk and journey can be more than just a basic human act. By examining these works, Adams sheds light on the artist's need to roam and the work that emerges from this need. The result is a nuanced exploration of the relationship between art, travel, and the landscape.
