Experimental Geography debuts in New York this summer at a moment when human engagement with geographic phenomena — from earthquakes to oil spills — is markedly on our minds. The exhibition explores the distinctions between geographical study and artistic experience of the earth, as well as the junctures where the two realms collide. Experimental Geography features new practice in a wide range of mediums, including sound and video installations, photography, sculpture, and experimental cartography, created by nineteen artists or artist teams. Exhibition curator Nato Thompson states, “Experimental Geography considers numerous aesthetic approaches that emerge from interpreting space as a cultural phenomenon. As the artists and researchers in this exhibition comfortably move between discursive territory from geography, to urban planning, to cartography to art, so too should the audiences.”
