Statement

ABOUT HAMILTON PERAMBULATORY UNIT (HPU) The Hamilton Perambulatory Unit (HPU) is a group of artists based in Hamilton, Ontario. Members of the HPU meet to perambulate alleys, along the Bruce Trail to waterfalls, and through the city's quickly gentrifying downtown to explore walking in conjunction with artistic practices and research-creation. The focus of each perambulation is a sensory exploration of the city/self in relation with a pre-read text, artistic notion, or philosophical work, and some enabling constraints (eg. in a set neighbourhood, or by using instruments of chance). Each gathering is "led" by a different educator, artist or writer.
