"Cartography 101" Art Exhibit
Saturday, August 27, 2005
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Johnsonese Gallery
"Cartography 101" art exhibit opens at Johnsonese Gallery in Chicago’s
Bucktown Neighborhood
As author Julia Cameron stated, "The artist is a cartographer; he maps
the world. The world within him, and the world as he sees it."
Throughout history maps have taken on meaning well beyond their
practical application of providing directions. Artists have always been
interested in maps. "Cartography 101" features art inspired by maps from
16 artists from across the US. Some pieces are overtly political as you
may expect, but other artists use maps as a starting point for the
unexpected. This is not your father's geography class.
The opening reception will be Saturday August 27th from 6 to 8 pm. The
show hangs from August 24th through September 24th.
