Join us for Mt. Washington Wander - a New Public Sites (NPS) walking tour of poetic and absurd spaces around Baltimore Clayworks, including Seclusion Acres, Pastoral Islands, a Threshold Tunnel and an Enlightened Elevation. Along the way we will collect Shards of Site - found souvenirs serving as mementos of place. Back at the gallery we will collectively attach our Shards to the Mt. Washington Shards of Site plaque hanging in the gallery. All participants will receive a complimentary Shard of Site Certificate of Authenticity. The first 5 registrants will receive a free signed, limited edition New Public Sites patch!

This event is in conjunction to the PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER exhibition. For other related programmatic events, please visit our website.

About New Public Sites: Situated within disparate zones of overlap, contradiction, ambiguity and interstice, the ongoing New Public Sites (NPS) project investigates the ways in which invisible sites and overlooked features exist within our everyday environment. New Public Sites generally consist of everyday public spaces existing in one or more of three states: rendered mute by their physical and discursive emptiness, ambiguous due to contextual contradictions of urban design, and/or invisible from a lack of formal architectural framing and practical readability. Through this process of urban exploration, the New Public Sites project invites a practice of “radical pedestrianism.” If a pedestrian is simply a person traveling by foot, a radical pedestrian is one who travels by foot through infinite sites of freedom while testing the limits of and redefining public space.
