Additional maps on view will demonstrate increasingly more precise and technically accurate images as they zero in on the eastern seaboard, the Hudson River, and finally, Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where the Tang Museum is located. Among the 19 contemporary artists whose map-inspired artworks will be on view at the Tang are Sam Easterson, Nina Katchadourian, Joyce Kozloff, and Lordy Rodriguez. John McQueen's Lake Michigan depicts the lake, free from its surrounding landscape, as a three-dimensional model constructed of tree bark. The exhibition's co-curators include Skidmore faculty members Susan Bender, associate dean of the faculty and associate professor of anthropology, and Bernard Possidente, professor of biology, as well as Richard Wilkinson, professor of anthropology of the University at Albany, State University of New York. A catalogue of the exhibition will be available at the Tang museum shop.
