Way Beyond goes Wayout, Kandos
Opening 4-6pm, Saturday 3 May until 5pm Sunday 22 June.
WAYOUT Artspace to host comprehensive national survey of Australian Walking Art.
WAYOUT Artspace in Kandos, NSW, will host a walking art exhibition from 3 May - 22 June 2025. This exhibition brings together artworks inspired by walking from 24 artists across Australia for whom walking is central to their creative practices.
Opening on 3 May at 4:00 pm, the exhibition titled Way Beyond Goes Way Out, is a comprehensive survey exhibition by Australian Walking Artists and is the second exhibition for the national network formed in mid-2023.
Co-convenor of Australian Walking Artists (AWA), Molly Wagner says the assembled works and walks highlight the rich diversity of creative walking practice within the Australian Walking Artists network. “We’re putting one foot in front of the other, literally and metaphorically, in rural, urban, and suburban landscapes, to inspire hope.”
Exhibition works include drawings, sculptural installations, textile works, videos, soundscapes, publications, and photographs. Walking events, ‘walkshops’, and artist’s talks will be offered as part of the public program during the exhibition.
Way Beyond Goes Way Out sets a historical precedent in Australia as being the most comprehensive exhibition of Australian Walking Artists to date. This exhibition puts a spotlight on what is more widely recognised internationally as a significant act to create artworks and address the topics of our times.
