A to B in MK (2018) is a book that documents 12 journeys on the Milton Keynes Redways, a 270km network of pedestrian and cycling paths that run in parallel to the Milton Keynes road grid.

A to B in MK took the form of a number of collective walks and cycle rides: plotting parts of this network of paths, cycle lanes, trees, bushes and bridges. Each trip was written as a story and published as part of this Redway guide.

I hope that A to B in MK will contribute to discussion about the potential for the Redways to become a sustainable alternative to the road grid in Milton Keynes, one that brings the margins into the centre and connects residents, plants, places, insects and animals.

The publication included a job application, written by the Redways to Milton Keynes Council and Highways for a role in the future of Milton Keynes. Readers might like to print the letter and send it to the council: Civic Offices, 1 Saxon Gate East, Central Milton Keynes, MK9 3EJ or email the Pdf to: MK Highways c/o customerservices@milton-keynes.gov.uk.

Related works: A to B in MK is the sister project to MKVH (Milton Keynes Vertical Horizontal), a work from 2006 in which a coach was driven around the road grid of Milton Keynes until it ran out of diesel, and its related publication MKVH (The Screenplay).

A to B in MK was launched on the 15th September 2018 at the Festival of Curves, Slopes and Detours.

A to B in MK is a continuation of my interest in sustainable public transport, roads and oil and completes my work on the Milton Keynes grid. It was commissioned by Tracing the Pathway for their project Groundwork, a cross-arts platform and research project about Milton Keynes.

The book can be purchased through the Live Art Development Agency website or you can download a pdf of it here.
