When I'm looking for a pick-me-up, I often turn to the Some Landscapes blog, run by "Plinius" out of somewhere in Britain, which regularly explores the relations between art and landscape. Plinius has a nice account of a retrospective by Richard Long, he of the "Line Made By Walking," one of the inspirations for Walkscapes everywhere. He also references uptake of Long's work, including a film by Carey Young, Lines Made By Walking (2003), which transplants Long's notion into urban space. To make sense of the citationality of these walks, I would have to turn to Tim Ingold's Lines: A Brief History (2007). I must have mentioned Ingold's work before: he is The anthropologist of walking.
