An exhibition of artworks that formally and conceptually investigate maps, borders, directional systems, and distances will be on view at Paula Cooper Gallery from July 7–August 8, 2025. In a time of heightened violence at geographical borders and boundaries, along with challenges to sovereignty and statehood around the world, the visual language of cartography is increasingly politized. Dating from the early 1960s to the present day, the works in the exhibition question the presumed objectivity of cartographic conventions.
