Photocartographies: May

Announcement: Photocartographies Exhibition at g727

Opening Reception, May 16 at 7:00pm
727 south spring street
downtown los angeles, ca 90014

May 16-June 30, Fri/Sat 1-6

The artwork collected in this exhibition is a survey of diverse perspectives projected along the horizon of our mappable world. The geography created by these artists is not only physical, but psycho-social. Although much of the work employs photography, there is a welcome uncertainty in these images-objects which reflect the shifting, contested and mysterious nature of our current cultural, environmental and built landscapes.

Presenting Anthony Auerbach, Katherine E. Bash, Noah Beil, Cris Benton, Frank Gohlke, Gregory Michael Hernandez, David Horvitz, David Maisel, Adam Ryder, Nikolas Schiller, Oraib Toukan, and Angie Waller.

Tattered Fragments of The Map
NOW AVAILABLE: Order online for $15

Although some artists involved in the exhibition have also contributed written work, this publication is certainly not a catalogue of the show. Instead, we hope that various ideas which surfaced during our investigation and preparation, as well as a few of the people we came into contact with, could be presented here in a sort of schizophrenic, scattershot survey of mapping and its associated theoretical implications.

g727 seeks to generate dialogues on artistic representations and interpretations of the urban landscape. The building blocks of a city comprise more than simply buildings, streets, and sidewalks. They equally encompass personal experience, collective memory and narratives. These are the less tangible, but no less integral elements that transform mere infrastructure into place. Through photography, painting, writing and video installations, artists open our eyes to these elements and heighten our awareness of what makes a place a place. g727 welcomes these artists to its space to help us all better understand the complex nature of cities and the urban condition.
