Walking Into Art: Challenging Traditional Artistic Ideas

Artist, Richard Long was thrown out of art school for the experimental nature of his work, and yet, in 1989, he won the Turner Prize? !  Long uses walking in the landscape as the medium of time and distance in his work.    The photographs of his maps, sculptures and text, act as records of his travels. He's walked as far as Japan, Alaska, Nepal and Iceland in the pursuit of his creative practice. I only went as far as Hanley: The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery to view his art, but it was well worth the visit.  The exhibition is in The Artist Room until 2nd March.
