Walk-Through is a new film installation by British artist Redmond Entwistle set at the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles where he studied in the late 1990s. Beginning as a tour of the building, an examination of Calarts’ historical and contemporary image soon drifts into a fictional reenactment of a ‘Post-Studio’ class developed by influential artist and teacher Michael Asher, whose extended group discussions have become a primary model for teaching in art schools today.

In this fictional group critique, actors and former students of Asher’s engage in a protracted war through language: lines are fed or denied, personal and institutional voices collide, silent groups conspire and speakers rebel against themselves, as the usual correspondence of individual and speech and their connection to democracy becomes far from clear. Walk-Through examines Calarts as the one of the primary sites of the shift towards an increasing emphasis on language in art education and its relationship to the emergence of an information-based economy.

Walk-Through is co-commissioned by Tramway for Glasgow International Festival 2012, International Project Space, Birmingham and Cubitt Gallery, London
