Artiste en résidence à La Box
The workshop departs from the presence of mapping- as a tool and methodology- in post- modern and contemporary practices. The act of mapping- no matter how subversive, critical or coming from the margin- forms a specific tone of power, as authority in its essence is embedded in the act of mapping itself. In order to understand this notion of authority, a deconstruction of the map becomes necessary.
In the workshop we will be looking at multidisciplinary practices spanning between art, architecture, social studies, and politics, where mapping is present in different forms and purposes; an evidence, a narrative or simply as an abstract immateriality.
It’s very crucial to read and analyze the spectrum of mapping practices in relation to the critical theories and radical practices accumulated since mid-twentieth century to our days. Creating these links will develop better understanding of how research based practices and data collection had affected production of knowledge and visual know-hows.
