A Large Slow River: Janet Cardiff’s Audio Walk in Gairloch Gardens

Oakville Galleries invites visitors to experience Janet Cardiff's immersive outdoor audio walk, A Large Slow River, at Gairloch Gardens. Commissioned in 1999 and recorded live on-site, the work responds directly to the landscape, creating a sensory experience that encourages visitors to slow down, observe, and listen closely.

The walk is drop-in; no registration required. MP3s are provided. Headphones and audio equipment are available to borrow from the front desk, or visitors may bring their own (Bluetooth compatible).

After the walk, visitors are welcome to linger in the gardens, purchase light refreshments and bites from local vendor Chuchos Churros, and visit the current exhibition Ali Cherri: To Fall Patiently.

Accessibility: The outdoor audio walk includes outdoor pathways, garden terrain, and stairs, and may not be fully accessible for all visitors. Those with mobility concerns are encouraged to contact Oakville Galleries in advance to discuss possible accommodations.
