Biography

b. 1946, London (UK)

Download CV

Since the late 1960s, Hamish Fulton has grounded his art in walks that he undertakes as a «walking artist». The act of walking, the experience of movement and the relationship to nature are at the centre of his artistic practice. Distinct from the positions of Land Art, which intervene physically in a landscape or create work from found materials, Fulton leaves as few traces as possible. He does not seek to change the landscapes he encounters on his walks, but emphasises experience as the starting point for his work.

31 March 2023

Pour marquer le coup de ses quarante ans, le Frac ouvre ses portes en grand avec trois nouvelles expositions — et un petit changement de patronyme en prime. The Third Garden de Liv Jourdan et Mathis Pettenati prolifère en tous sens, olfactifs, visuels et sonores; tandis qu’Hamish Fulton, A Walking Artist, expose les artéfacts de ses cheminements, en lieu et place de ses œuvres monumentales de plusieurs milliers de kilomètres de long.
