31 Walks from Water to Water 1971–2010 (Made in Western Europe) 2011
Hamish Fulton (b.1946)
Artist, born in London, who created “art resulting from the experience of individual walks”. Between 1964–9 Fulton studied at Hammersmith College of Art, St Martin’s School of Art and the Royal College of Art. From 1969 he made walks through several continents, adhering to strict, self-imposed programmes, such as “a continuous 106-mile walk without sleep”, featured in Into the Night at Annely Juda Fine Art, 1993. Showed frequently and widely in Britain and abroad, and numerous public collections, including Tate Gallery; Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris; Metropolitan Museum, Tokyo; and The Brooklyn Museum, New York, hold examples. There were solo exhibitions at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia, Norwich, 2001; and Tate Britain, 2002; and Maureen Paley/Interim Art, 2005.
