I had the pleasure and privilege of leading one of the monthly art walks organised by Pavilion and Project Space Leeds last week, for which thanks must go to Gill for the invitation and rounding up such an impressive array of lovely people for me to talk at, to and with. For those of you who couldn't make it, I've archived the route we took and works we saw on map below. The loose theme of the walk was culture and urban regeneration, taking in the redevelopment of the Corn Exchange, Brewery Wharf and Holbeck Urban Village in relation to the ways in which public art has been deployed in each of these reconstructed, reconstituted areas of the city.

A fascinating walk. Many thanks to Rebecca for such an enlightening tour (and for managing to make herself aheard over traffic and Hans Peter Kuhn sounds!) I've lost count of how many people I've talked to about the Harry Thubron mosaic since the walk. For anyone interested the next art walk will be happening on June 2nd starting 5.30 pm at the burton gallery.
