On display in our exhibition space, VIEW – points, features work from local artists; Greg M. Donley, Michael Loderstedt, Wendy Partridge, and Sai Sinbondit that collectively investigate our cultural perceptions of mapping.
Mapping is a way to make sense of things by directing attention. In conventional discussions of mapping the emphasis is on the relationship between the map and its referent. In this exhibit, the emphasis shifts to include relationships between artists’ intentions and the principles of selectivity they employ.
Moving outward from the assumption that mapping is patterned precision, we explore mapping as an activity in which the limitations of representation meet the potential for expression. This terrain blurs the distinctions between art and science, diagrams and cartoons, play and politics.
The artists and viewers participating in VIEW-points explore, provoke and reflect on mapping as orientation rather than destination.
