Tutorial with Gavin

My essay for my HCC id well underway now, I have always been interested in land art yet I have never really looked into it as an art form. Which, I should have really as I suppose some of my work could be linked in some ways, especially my work last year. Anyway, I have for my essay I have focussed on artists who tried to escape the gallery system in 1960's, which has led me on to research Richard Long, a well-known land artists who uses walking as his medium for his work. I had a tutorial with Fionna and she directed me to Gavin, who is doing his Phd in Walking as Art. I find walking as a art an interesting concept, as it is talking art down to its minimum and questioning what actually is art. Gavin was really helpful and gave me a great insight into walking as art, there is a divide actually two forms which I never realised; rural and urban walking. This is something I need to make clear in my essay, even if I don't use urban walking I still need to recognise that it is different from rural walking.
