\u00ab …to make maps is to organize oneself, to generate new connections and to be able to transform the material and immaterial conditions in which we find ourselves immersed.
\nIt isn\u2019t the territory but it definitely produces territory.\u00bb
\nFrom An Atlas of Radical Cartography (Journal of Aesthetics & Protest Press, 2007)<\/p>\n
\u2039An Atlas of Radical Cartography\u203a makes its premise on under- mining the claim of mapping as an objective representation of the world. Instead, the project understands mapping as a tool for reconstructing our society and political sphere against the dominant pictures of the world that are often represented
\nor made invisible by \u00abfalsogra- phers\u00bb (Olivier Rolin). In this radical cartography converge diverse practices such as art, critical theories, architectural & graphic designs and activism, share interests in re-mapping the world collectively.
\n\u2039An Atlas of Radical Cartography\u203a was initiated and convened as a publication of ten maps together with ten accompanying essays by New York-based artists Lize Mogel and Alexis Bhagat. As a traveling exhibition, it was called in and reset anew at several institutes in the United States. Now, for the exhibtion at Whitespace in Zurich, the collection of maps had been updated and extended to put a stronger focus on the changes of the world after the neoliberal crisis. Those maps take on a range of pressing social and political issues from globaliza- tion and economic inequity to diverse urban concerns, in the process creating new imaginary territories and anticipating possible actions.<\/p>\n
