Track 1
From Here to There
(18 minutes 57 seconds) – it’s uphill
Direction: Arnolfini to Bristol Museum & Art Gallery
The artists Carl Andre and Robert Smithson take a journey through the streets of Bristol, reflecting on their experience of Art from Elsewhere. Carl Andre 'is best known as a minimalist sculptor' but in the exhibition, he is represented by some of his concrete poetry: ‘a form in which the visual order of the words or letters on the page is as important as the words themselves'. Robert Smithson 'is best known for his monumental 'earth works'' but in Art from Elsewhere is represented by some of his 'phantasmagorical drawings of cosmological worlds...'. Hear a fictional conversation between the artists as they find themselves ‘elsewhere’.
If you want to walk the same way as Carl and Robert did, go across Pero's Bridge, along the restaurants by the waterfront and up Park Street via Ganesha Handicrafts and the Wetherspoons opposite Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.
