Edition of 250

Initiated by David Mayor, with support from Fluxus founders George Maciunas and Ken Friedman, “Fluxshoe” was a transgressive nomadic exhibition that toured the United Kingdom from 1972 to 1973. As part of this travelling event, British artist Helen Chadwick performed a literal walk in Croydon, moving between two doors facing each other across a lawn. This publication documents the performance by recreating the action in a flippable format, inviting the reader to activate the work through the simple gesture of turning the pages.


 


Walking is a recurrent motif in Chadwick’s artistic practice. In “Walking North” (2004), she composed a song built around a sweeping melody that can be sung while walking. Twenty years later, she released the album “Wherever You Are Walking” (2022), featuring texts by poets and writers including Shakespeare and Rumi. Across these works, walking becomes both a physical action and a compositional device, linking movement, voice, landscape, and time.


 


This editorial experiment was conceived in collaboration with David Mayor, Felipe Ehrenberg, Terry Wright, and the Beau Geste Press community in Devon.
