Running (In) Your City

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

As we run in or through the city, can we also metaphorically ‘run' it? This chapter introduces four tactics of ‘running art-fully’ as a mobile method within the city. Set against the backdrop of running as a mass fitness practice and a world in frenetic commotion, I draw on my own art practice, and include practices and concepts from the Situationist International and the Chinese philosophy of Daoism (Taoism). I want to catalyse people from all walks – artists, non-artists, runners, non-runners – to consider the poetic implications and applications of running, and how that interplays with mobilities and visual art, and to invent yet other ‘strong minded acts of imagination’ to interrogate the status quo.
