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

Oakville Galleries presents 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, inviting visitors to slow down, observe, and listen closely to a captivating sensory experience.

The walk is drop-in; no registration required. MP3s are provided, and headphones and audio equipment are available to borrow from the front desk. Visitors may also use their own headphones with Bluetooth compatibility.

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.
