Over the past 20 years, Brennan has developed a walking-based art practice he refers to as ‘the manouvre’. Following the former route of the world’s first railway line, Brennan's selected readings en route collide historical and aesthetic quotations creating a web of contradictions and political dilemmas. The journey will culminate at 6am on the banks of the River Wear in Sunderland.
The time and duration of this manouvre corresponds to the generic colliery nightshift. The 8-hour journey culminates at 6am on the banks of Sunderland’s River Wear. Refreshments and head torches provided.
Bring suitable clothing and footwear for an 8 hour, outdoor event and any additional refreshments you need. The walk is not difficult - it is 8 miles in length and the terrain is mainly reclaimed rail track, tarmac path and pavement.
