New Lock Old Lock: An Artist Walk with Erie Canal Artist-in-Residence Matthew López-Jensen
New Lock Old Lock: An Artist Walk with Erie Canal Artist-in-Residence Matthew López-Jensen
Artist walks with López-Jensen are participatory actions that combine collective action, conversations, and art-making with the act of walking. Participants will gather at Lock 2 (Erie Canal Lock 2, Waterford, NY, 12188), and spend a moment getting to know each other and a bit about the history of the landscape. Artist Matthew López-Jensen will introduce his practice and discuss the various aspects of the walk. After visiting a few spots at Lock 2, the group will slowly walk along the Old Champlain Canal Trail to the Historic Champlain Canal Lock 4, a distance of about one mile. Participants are encouraged to bring a camera. This event is free, though registration is preferred. You may register here: https://eriecanalmuseum.org/store/product/artist-walk/
