Experimental Geography: Radical Approaches to Landscape, Cartography, and Urbanism
"A photo of a secret CIA prison. A map designed to help visitors reach
Malibu’s notoriously inaccessible public beaches. Guidebooks to
factories, prisons, and power plants in upstate New York. An artificial
reef fabricated from 500 tons of industrial waste. These are some of the
more than one hundred projects represented in Experimental Geography, a groundbreaking
collection of visual research and mapmaking from the past ten years.
Experimental Geography explores
the distinctions between geographical study and artistic experience of
the earth, as well as the juncture where the two realms collide (and
possibly make a new field altogether). This lavishly illustrated book
features more than a dozen maps; artwork by Francis Alÿs, Alex Villar,
and Yin Xiuzhen; and recent projects by The Center for Land Use
Interpretation, the Raqs Media Collective, and the Center for Urban
Pedagogy.
The collection is framed by essays by bestselling author Trevor Paglen, Jeffrey Kastner, and editor Nato Thompson".
