TOURING SHOW

Curated by Marisa Olson
Touring Show is an online exhibition of artists' maps and 'virtual
tours' of contested spaces, ranging from the Military Industrial
Complex to the US-Mexico border, to the body. The mapping and social
organization of spaces has not only had a profound impact on the
cultures that inhabit them, it has also contributed to the development
of a number of artistic traditions, including cartography, drafting,
and landscape painting and photography. More recently, the emergence
of the artists' lectures and tours as artistic media has coincided
with the practice of 'radical cartography,' which in its most
elemental terms is the charting of a space's relationship to the
empire or ideology that governs it. Also significant to the specific
cultural moment traced here is the mingling of technology's impact on
our landscape and the use of technologies to explore and document this
terrain. The artists here offer a combination of web-based and public
projects that can be interpreted as tours in this vein. While some of
the projects read as interventions, others simply present the
information needed to navigate viewers' own subjective traversals.
