Walk Between Museums
from Photography and Walking · host Philippe Guillaume. Produced by Productions 3655 Inc.
In 1970, Montreal artist Françoise Sullivan left one museum and walked to another — turning that simple gesture into a work of art. Her route, from the Musée d’art contemporain on Cité du Havre to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts on Sherbrooke Street, traced more than just distance: it crossed institutions, histories, and power structures.This episode of Photography and Walking explores how Sullivan’s quiet act of movement redefined both walking and photography — not as documentation, but as lived, embodied resistance. Through the lens of psychogeography, feminism, and conceptual art, we follow her walk as a radical way of seeing and being seen.En 1970, l’artiste montréalaise Françoise Sullivan quitte un musée pour en rejoindre un autre — transformant ce simple geste en œuvre d’art. Son trajet, du Musée d’art contemporain situé à la Cité du Havre jusqu’au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal sur la rue Sherbrooke, traverse bien plus qu’une distance : il relie des institutions, des histoires et des rapports de pouvoir.Cet épisode de Photography and Walking explore comment cet acte discret de marche a redéfini à la fois la marche et la photographie — non pas comme une documentation, mais comme une résistance vécue et incarnée. À travers les prismes de la psychogéographie, du féminisme et de l’art conceptuel, nous suivons sa marche comme une manière radicale de voir et d’être vue.—Music: Beat ’em with Rhythm - Victor Natas (CC BY 4.0 / freesound.org)Produced by Productions 3655 Inc.
