REMEMBER NATURE | HAMISH FULTON WALK

Remember Nature 2025 is an ambitious new staging of the visionary art project initiated in 2015 by the celebrated artist Gustav Metzger. As part of the nationwide art event Hamish Fulton will lead a group walk in Helston on the afternoon of Thursday 6 November. Meet at CAST at 3.15pm. The walk will take place in central Helston and will last for one hour. Hamish Fulton devised two such walks in Penzance as part of the Cornwall Workshop in 2013.

Later that day Fulton will introduce his ‘Artist’s Choice’ (booking here) and there will also be looped screenings of short films made by Fulton and the other seventeen artists commissioned for Remember Nature.

The short films run for a total of 45 minutes with screenings beginning at 4.30pm, 5.15pm and 6pm.

Hamish Fulton describes himself as a ‘walking artist’. In October 1973, having walked 1,022 miles in 47 days from Duncansby Head (near John O’Groats) to Lands End in Cornwall, he decided to ‘only make art resulting from the experience of individual walks’. Since then the act of walking has remained central to his practice. He has stated: ‘If I do not walk, I cannot make a work of art.’

Free, booking essential
