Afterall Journal Issue 27 Examines Mapping as Artistic and Curatorial Methodology
The 27th issue of Afterall Journal, released on May 20, 2011, and edited by Melissa Gronlund, delves into the theme of mapping within contemporary art. It reviews notable exhibitions such as 'Von hier aus' (1984) by Kasper König, 'Helter Skelter' (1992) curated by Paul Schimmel, and 'Nought to Sixty' (2008) by Mark Sladen and Richard Birkett. Artists like Andrea Zittel and Jef Geys are highlighted. The publication reexamines Suzanne Lacy's 1995 work 'Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art' through the lens of Stephanie Smith and features discussions on Robert Barry and Ray Johnson. Additionally, it critiques Dexter Sinister's editing and design methods, with insights from Saul Anton, while Stéphanie Jeanjean focuses on feminist video collectives in 1970s France, and Matthew Green's 2009 piece touches on social mapping techniques.
