Layla Curtis: Exploring Mapping Concepts

2007-06-21T14:32:00.000Z

Student from Tower Hamlets College, 2007

Student from Tower Hamlets College, 2007

In Spring 2007 artist Layla Curtis worked with students at Tower Hamlets College to explore the concept of mapping by looking at themes such as: Memory – how our memory/ knowledge of the places important to us varies from person to person and the effect this has on how we then map a place. How mapping can be subjective and the appearance of maps/ information included in a map can depend on who is doing the mapping. Differing world views - how each of our experiences of the world and how we see it visually is slightly different. And the types of boundaries are present in traditional cartography their own personal cartographic boundaries.

Francesca Berrini

2007-06-19T16:09:00.000Z

Good vs Evil..............Romantic Vacation

Francesca Berrini transforms vintage maps of places she has longed to visit into fine art maps of entirely new and imagined worlds. She obsessively tears up original vintage maps into tiny pieces, and then reconstitutes them, using a painterly process, into new maps and directional devices that reflect a longing for places unseen.

Rooted in cross-cultural fertilisations, New Geographies pushes the boundaries of the conventional notions of place and nation. A solo exhibition reflecting on how globalisation is profoundly transforming our apprehension of the world, provoking new senses of identity and the creation of new territories.

Los Angeles Mapped Exhibition

2007-02-09T10:10:00.000Z

The Library of Congress/Ira Gershwin Gallery presents historical maps of Los Angeles from the collections of the Library of Congress Geography and Map Division. These diverse works of craftsmanship, precision, and imagination provide a guide to some of the most remarkable stories of the city's history: its discovery, its growth, and its industries, as seen by explorers, engineers, artists, residents, and boosters.

Great on-line exhibition and resources.

advanced knowledge map that has never been drawn

2007-02-08T11:15:00.000Z

"This is a rough sketch of a more advanced knowledge map that has never been drawn." - R.B.Wild ("Non-Geo" Graphical Information Systems, with a particular focus on Mapping Knowledge Domains. I'm interested in creating visualizations of 'ideas' that do not necessarily have a geo basis to them). For examples, click on the map sketch above, and here for the whole mapping story. http://greatmap.blogspot.com/

Upside-down Map of the World

2007-01-30T09:45:00.000Z

One version of what is called an "upside-down" map. As a note, this is not a Peters Projection, but a Van der Grinten projection, which is in a class of maps known as "compromise" projections. http://www.public.asu.edu/~aarios/resourcebank/maps/page3.html
