April 27, 2009 (Los Angeles, CA) Photocartographies: Tattered Fragments of the Map is a curatorial project that includes an art exhibition, a series of public programs and a book of related essays. g727, a non-profit art gallery in downtown Los Angeles, will host the exhibition and associated events.

Photography and cartography are entwined in similar processes of subject orientation that structure our experience of social, environmental and virtual landscapes. A map is not a representation so much as a system of propositions. This project reveals mapping itself as a generative process of knowledge creation, a liberatory method for re-imagining and re-imaging our world, its built and natural environments, and the relationship between space and place.

An international roster of artists have been selected by independent curators Adam Katz (Los Angeles) and Brian Rosa (Mexico City) to participate in the exhibition. Mapping and photography are conceptual frameworks, rather than methods, that unite this group of artists. The exhibition will include video, installation and sculptural pieces in addition to two-dimensional photographic work and digital renderings. Participating artists include Anthony Auerbach, Katherine E. Bash, Noah Beil, Cris Benton, Frank Gohlke, Gregory Michael Hernandez, David Horvitz, David Maisel, Adam Ryder, Oraib Toukan, Angie Waller and Nikolas Schiller.
