Geographies of Yourself

Geographies of Yourself

curator

  • Special Project

Ever shifting and increasingly elusive, the notion of “site,” both within the scope of artistic production and in cultural consciousness at large, remains an enduring, crucial means of centring. It incites conversation between the personal and the historical, and it contextualises, positions and helps to internalise our surroundings. Centuries of environmental consumption have posed a threat to this model, challenging its veracity and its exercise, questioning it as a distant idealisation.

Geographies of Yourself  brings together sculptural, filmic and graphic manifestations of this negotiation as memorials and dedications, relics and symbols that establish the individual’s role within the landscape. The works in Geographies of Yourself undertake this task on levels both physical and conceptual, reflecting the self, elegantly distilling lifetimes to minimal abstractions, dissecting histories or projecting a better future.
