The William C Wonders Map Collection, University of Alberta Libraries
has mounted an exhibit of current art and cartography.
This exhibit â /Journeys beyond the neatline: expanding the boundaries
of cartography /â presents 25 works of two University of Alberta
affiliated artist/cartographers who have documented their personal
journeys through text and maps.
The title of the exhibit â /Journeys beyond the neatline /â reflects
their personal journeys beyond the traditional boundaries of the printed
map â the neatline. Both have made pilgrimages which traverse terrain
and individual experience. But beyond that, theirs are unique
experiences recorded in text and visual expressions as maps.
Like the works themselves, this exhibition, exemplifying a growing
intersection of art and cartography, also represents a step beyond the
traditional map exhibit for the William C. Wonders Map Collection.
The exhibit catalogue */Journeys beyond the neatline: expanding the
boundaries of cartography/*, containing images of all the works, has
been uniquely designed in that the catalogue is one physical item which
contains the works and essays of both artist cartographers arranged in a
flip book format.

Library, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta

purchase information can be found at the exhibit website.
