EXPERIMENTAL GEOGRAPHY
June 28 - September 20, 2009
A group exhibition of national and international artists that explores the distinctions between geographical study and artistic experience of the earth, as well as the juncture where the two realms collide. Tthe exhibition is based on the notions that geography benefits from the study of specific histories, sites, and memories, and that every estuary, landfill, and cul-de-sac has a story to tell. The artists engage the earth's topography in a range of experimental ways, including interactive computer kiosks, sound and video installations, photography, sculpture, and experimental cartography.

Experimental Geography is a traveling exhibition organized and circulated by iCI (Independent Curators International), New York.
