CURRENT EXHIBITION
Envisioning Maps
September 2, 2008—February 5, 2009
Envisioning Maps is an exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and
prints by contemporary American and international artists who use
actual maps, real or imagined, as metaphors for human relationships,
historical experience, social values, global politics, and issues of
identity and heritage. The exhibition offers contemporary expressions
of the full range of maps throughout the centuries: maps of projected
travels or memories of journeys; maps depicting national boundaries or
natural resources; maps of the known world or places yet to be
explored; maps of worlds real and lost; maps of migration, exile, and
immigration; maps for navigation or pilgrimage; maps of military
campaigns or ecological disasters; maps of the earth and the
constellations; and maps of ancient agricultural fields to the latest
NASA and GPS navigational tools.
