An Atlas of Radical Cartography
Casco. Office for Art, Design and Theory

15.02.2009—22.03.2009

«An Atlas of Radical Cartography» brings together a number of mapping strategies that traverse areas of practice such as art, design, activism, cartography and geography, focusing on the map’s function as a political agent. Conceived and organized by New York-based artists Lize Mogel and Alexis Bhagat, «An Atlas of Radical Cartography» began as a publication of ten maps and ten essays and evolved into a traveling exhibition. At Casco, the exhibition includes works of radical cartography by fifteen international artists, architects, activists and collectives. They take on a range of pressing social and political issues from globalization and economic inequity to diverse urban concerns, in the process creating new imaginary territories and anticipating possible actions.
