MIDNIGHT Friday 22 January til NOON Saturday 23 January
A special walk in support of The Pigs of Today are the Hams of Tomorrow curated by Marina Abramovic and organised by Plymouth Arts Centre.
In 1988 Abramovic and Ulay walked the 6,000 Km Great Wall of China from opposite ends meeting in the middle.
Simon Persighetti (Wrights& Sites) and Tony Whitehead (Soundings) invite you on a 6km slow walk through the City of Plymouth from midnight on Friday 22 January til noon on Saturday 23 January following the zigzag route of a scaled-down georectification of the Great Wall. Along the way we will take note of visible and invisible barriers, edges, liminal spaces, boundaries, fences and the ecologies of walls.
You can join us for the whole walk starting at the junction of Elburton Road and Southernway, north of Elburton and Plymstock (type 50.36496,-4.079107 into Google Maps).
If you are at evening performances at the Slaughterhouse, Royal William Yard, it will be possible for particpants to share cabs out to the start point with the walk leaders. To arrange please call Simon on 07765 060009. We'll be leaving c11:15pm.
Or you can join us for part of our journey - we will signal our position live on this Walk the Walls blog (scroll down) so that you know where we are, or you can call us on the mobile as above.
Or you can meet us at our finishing point at the Slaughterhouse at 12 noon on Saturday 23 January where we will present our findings and have delirious conversations perhaps before parting our ways forever.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
If you are joining us, please remember to wrap up very warm and bring waterproofs. Parts of the walk will be on rough ground, so sturdy boots/walking shoes should be worn. For the night walking please bring a torch. Feel free as well to bring recording devices (camera/chalk), and energy food.
We hope you enjoy taking part in Walk the Walls, but please remember that everyone takes part at their own risk and that the organisers and leaders are not responsible for any injuries, loss or damage that occur during the event.
