A Cartographic Desire

Time	Thursday, August 11 at 6:30pm - August 25 at 4:00pm
Location	Project Space @ Lasalle 1 McNally Street Singapore, Singapore

Human beings had since time immemorial, attempted to represent and visualise their environment through the drawing of maps in a variety of manners and perspectives – some more scientific than others, whilst many are skewed projections of how we like to perceive the worlds we live in. Despite the purposes of maps that yield desire to conquer and colonise new lands through battles and feuds, the language the maps is essentially on...e that promises routes into and out of the unknown. Yet for the artist, the map is a document filled with much artistic potential with a network of assumptions ready to be use, exploit and develop.

A Cartographic Desire is an exhibition that hopes to stimulate a dialogue between art and geography. As artists become increasingly sensitive to issues of space and problems that confound the border between the real and the fictional, the maps found and reinterpreted by the artist-students in this exhibition continue to seek that experience of the individual-within-space and the multiple subjectivities that come with depicting and representing places.
The rethinking of space/place is dynamic, subjective and multi-dimensional, in which the art works in this exhibition hope to evoke so that one can reconsider if space can be represented, and the limitations of this representation.
