EXPERIMENTAL GEOGRAPHY
June 28 – September 20, 2009
A group exhibition of national and international artists
that explores the distinctions between geographical study and artistic
experience of the earth, as well as the juncture where the two realms
collide. Curated by Nato Thompson and organized and circulated by Independent
Curators International, the exhibition is based on the notions that
geography benefits from the study of specific histories, sites, and
memories, and that every estuary, landfill, and cul-de-sac has a story
to tell. The artists engage the earth's topography in a range of experimental
ways, including interactive computer kiosks, sound and video installations,
photography, sculpture, and experimental cartography.
