You Are Here → Mapping the Psychogeography of New York City is open at Pratt Mahattan Gallery! Guest curated by Katherine Harmon, author of two of my very favorite books You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination and The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography.

 

San Francisco based artist Liz Hickok is showing a gelatin Manhattan skyline. In 2008, while visiting SF, I stopped into her open studio and got an up close view & smell of her gelatin cities. Several were beginning to melt that night which brought to my mind themes pertaining to land use and disaster.
