Synopsis
Walking, That Most Basic Of Human Actions, Was Transformed In The Twentieth Century By Surrealism, The Situationist International, And Fluxus Into A Tactic For Revolutionizing Everyday Life. Each Group Chose Locations In The Urban Landscape As Sites--from The Flea Markets And Bars Of Paris To The Sidewalks Of New York--and Ambulation As The Essential Gesture. Keep Walking Intently Traces The Meandering And Peculiar Footsteps Of These Avant-garde Artists As They Moved Through The City, Encountering The Marvelous, Studying The Environment, And Re-enchanting The Banal. Art Historian Lori Waxman Reveals The Radical Potential That Walking Holds For Us All--back Cover. Part I. Surrealism's Ambulatory Dreams -- Part Ii. Drifting Toward A Situationist Revolution -- Part Iii. How Fluxus Keeps Walking Intently. Lori Waxman. Includes Bibliographical References.
