52 More (2021-ongoing)

After I finished 52 Scores (2019-2020) I was left with a pile of off-cuttings. Words I considered, but didn’t use. Now I’d like to invite you to use them with me as part of 52 More.

If you’d like to make a score e-mail your postal address to blakemwalks@gmail.com and you will recieve a kit in the mail.* Each score takes one week to build (around five to ten minutes a day). Once you’ve made the score we can choose a time to walk it together (and invite others to join us if we so desire). 

You can also join in the walks as the scores are made (check out the upcoming walks page.) To participate in a walk, read the score and decide how you interpet it as instructions for a walk. For instance, you might follow the words as a map, or use specific sentences as provocations for your exploration. You can do the walks anywhere in the world in whatever environment suits them best.

If you have questions or want to arrange a specific walking exchange, e-mail blakemwalks@gmail.com. You can also share you walks via social media using the hashtag #52More

I will be sharing the scores and documenting the walking exchanges on the project blog. Feel free to participate in previous walks as well. If you share your documentation with me I will add it to the blog.

*I am committed to making this project fully accessible. The score making kits contain a handwritten letter in cursive script, and cut out words and sentences in different font types and sizes. This can be adjusted, so please let me know if you have individual access needs.
