Walking Places: A Walk in Venice
with Erin Schneider
Date & Time
June 9, 2013, 1pm–3pm
Location
Venice
Pricing
Free

Artist Ken Ehrlich and Erin Schneider (born and raised in Venice) will lead a participatory walk through the diverse ecosystems of Venice. Rather than a historic tour of modern architecture, we will visit sites of artistic transformation, cultural significance and mythic projection.

Including artist studios and architectural meeting places, beat cafes, and a concrete lagoon, we will use mapping, group activities and alternative narratives to highlight transformation in an evolving city.

This event is part of a four-part series Walking places: Four Walks in Los Angeles , a series of playful, absurd, critical and activity-based walks in different parts of the city that will examine the architectural landscape up close and reveal Los Angeles as a space of ghosts, projections, limits and possibilities.

Please be prepared to walk for approx. two hours. Think footwear, hats, sunscreen, water, and whatever else you’ll need to wander for a good bit.
