The term Psychogeography can have a vast range of meanings and is constantly in flux, being reexamined, altered, and evolved by those who practice it. Broadly speaking, Psychogeography is the effect of a location (usually urban or suburban) on our behavior and emotions. How do these places, spaces and environments we encounter in our everyday lives and routines make us feel?

What is the Artist’s response to place?

We may take the physical act of walking for granted in most cases. But what if we looked at walking as a radical tool to understand ourselves and our environments?

The socially engaged practice of walking is a healthy, playful, and experimental way to navigate urban, suburban, and edgeland environments. Walking is a great method to closely examine and document the overlooked details of streets, architecture, nature, parks and other spaces.

Students taking classes at the School of Psychogeographic Arts will create a vast array of art driven by their own exploration and interests. As we embark on short walking tours of the city and surrounding areas, students will document, capture, and collect a variety references, ideas, and materials to bring back into the studio. All projects will be sent home at the end of each session. Enjoy the photo gallery of evolving student and instructor works of psychogeographic art.
