An Atlas
curated by Lize Mogel and Alexis Bhagat
An Atlas is a traveling exhibition of artists working with “radical cartography”—a practice that uses maps and mapping to promote social change, and that is part of a cultural movement that links art, geography, and activism. The participating artists, architects, and collectives in the exhibition play with cartographic convention— geographic shapes, wayfinding symbols, and aerial views— in order to take on issues from globalization to garbage.
An Atlas is organized by artists Lize Mogel and Alexis Bhagat. It is a companion exhibition to the publication, “An Atlas of Radical Cartography," (2007, Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Press, Los Angeles.)
For more information, please visit www.an-atlas.com/exhibition.htm

PAPER POLITICS
CLICK HERE FOR LOCAL CALL APPLICATION AND GUIDELINES
Paper Politics is a major exhibition of politically and socially engaged printmaking. The exhibit showcases print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political conversation. The show has now been hung in several venues in the United States and Canada, including in Brooklyn, Chicago, Montreal, Seattle, Milwaukee, Portland, OR and Corpus Christi, TX.
The exhibition features work by over 180 artists from the US and around the world; an eclectic collection of work by artists who are primarily activists, as well as artists whose work may not always be politically motivated, but who wanted to respond to the monumental trends and events of our times.
Paper Politics presents a breathtaking tour of the many modalities of printing: relief, intaglio, lithography, serigraph, collagraph, monotype, photography. In addition to these techniques, we are delighted to include traditional media used to convey political thought, finely crafted stencils and silkscreened intended for wheatpasting in the street.
The exhibition is organized by Josh MacPhee, an artist, curator and activist currently living in Brooklyn, NY.
