Derives - Knee Jerk

Dérives
A Series of Psycho-Geographical Walks in Cork City. 
Dérives is a series of lunchtime walks accompanying ArtTrail 2009. These walks will investigate the city from a range of artistic, historical and psycho-geographical perspectives, re-examining the urban environment through subjective experiences, narrative explorations and conceptual approaches.
Led by artists and artist collectives, Dérives is intended to challenge and explore the urban
landscape and our perceptions of the city. All walks are free and will start at 1.10pm. Walks last approx 50.mins, Places are limited so arrive early!

 

 

Knee-Jerk (IE) 


This project runs throughout the festival, and a guided
tour takes place on
Monday November 16th, 1.10 pm


From their ‘Base Camp’ established in Cork City,
Galway-based arts collective Knee-Jerk will provide a
tongue-in-cheek orienteering event where each of the
participants will be given a compass, walking stick and
topographical map; buildings become hills and roads are
turned into ridges. Allowing the social dynamism of a
busy city to be traversed as physical geography,
Knee-Jerk’s project aims to provide an anachronistic
experience of the urban area.
