In towns and cities around the world, the International Peripatetic Sculptors Society (IPSS) organise playful adventures through urban territories that use action-research and performance methods as a form of intervention into spaces of ‘everyday life’. Fusing the Situationist tradition of dérive with Allan Kaprow’s invocation to reclaim the art of everyday life, the IPSS use the urban terrain as ‘raw material’ for spontaneous artistic responses that combine emotional, situational, dialogic and embodied response to place, identity and memory. By combining various peripatetic methodologies, the activities of the IPSS work to unshackle the chains of codified and conditioned behaviour to realise the possibility of free and spontaneous creation.
