The Road Out
Audio Guide
Toronto, 2006
Description
The Road Out is an audio guided walk made specifically for The Tree Museum site in Gravenhurst Ontario.
The narrator leads visitors along the dirt road away from the Tree Museum. She describes flora and fauna, and invokes tango music to keep away bears. There are humourous interludes and mysterious presences in the woods, and the listener is immersed in a subtly hallucinatory scoundscape.
The walk is a free downloadable MP3 file, that can be played on portable MP3 players or burned and played on portable CD players. Download the file, and bring your own listening device to the Tree Museum at any time. The walk begins at the mailbox in front of the Tree Museum gallery, and takes place along the dirt road that leads out of the grounds. The walk takes approximately 16 minutes, and ends at the beaver pond.
This piece was curated by David Liss of the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, for the permanent collection of the Tree Museum, in Gravenhurst, Ontario, 2006.
