Photocartographies: Tattered Fragments of the Map (5/16)

Photocartographies: Tattered Fragments of the Map is a curatorial project materializing in multiple forms: an exhibition, a publication and a series of public programs.

Photography and cartography are entwined in similar processes of subject orientation that structure our experience of social, environmental and virtual landscapes. A map is not a representation so much as a system of propositions. This project reveals mapping itself as a generative process of knowledge creation, a liberatory method for re-imagining and re-imaging our world, its built and natural environments, and the relationship between space and place.

The artwork collected in this exhibition is a survey of diverse perspectives projected along the horizon of our mappable world. The geography created by these artists is not only physical, but psycho-social. Although much of the work employs photography, there is a welcome uncertainty in these images-objects which reflect the shifting, contested and mysterious nature of our current cultural, environmental and built landscapes.

Presenting Anthony Auerbach, Katherine Bash, Noah Beil, Charles Benton, Frank Gohlke, Mike Hernandez, David Horvitz, David Maisel, Adam Ryder, Oraib Toukan, Angie Waller and Nikolas Schiller.
