Landed: Surveying New Geographies

March 20 - October 2, 2016 - The exhibition features artists using unconventional research methodologies and experimental media to contextualize the sociopolitical and cultural factors that determine the demarcation of land, its occupation, use, and succession.

The artists in Landed consider the layered histories below land and the soaring space above. They challenge our quotidian perception of landscape to include the overlooked, the covert, and the indiscernible. They are pioneering a cartography of engagement and activism, building a geography that encompasses environmental encroachment, the flow of refugees across borders, the points of access to resources and infrastructure, and the rights to ancestral grounds.
