After the Industrial Revolution, trading and commerce, increased enormously throughout the world.
Travel for pleasure became a big interest for the burgesses, while travel for business was a matter of big importance for merchants and other members of the aforementioned emergent middle class. Geographers and cartographers had to respond to the increasing demand of that middle class, and therefore, another impulse was given to cartography and the mapmaking professionals.

kennardphillips at EXILE

Artist: kennardphillips

Exhibition title: Americas Greatest Hits
https://www.kennardphillipps.com/americas-greatest-hits-exile-gallery/
In a first part of the series (2012), portraits of male world leaders were selected by the artists due to their questionable human-rights record and relation to totalitarian structures.

The second part of the series (2016) extends this erasure repetitively on the portrait of always the same politician.

The exhibition takes the local political situation as an entry point to the global problem of right-wing populism. It is not a local or national problem as it is a global danger of an erosion of democratic values and liberties we are facing.

Map Portraits by Matthew Cusick

Dallas-based artist Matthew Cusick began collecting maps after graduating in 2001.

Cusick lets his work be guided by his various materials: maps, atlases, encyclopedias and school textbooks. “I like to catalog, archive, and arrange information and then dismantle, manipulate, and reconfigure it. I use maps as a surrogate for paint and as a way to expand the limits of representational painting. Through a process of cutting up and reassembling fragments of maps from different places and times, I am attempting a more complete representation of an existence, one that incorporates the geographical and historical timelines of that existence within the matrix of its image.”

The main goal of art in Egypt was to preserve the natural order of things in the most harmonious way.

“For the Egyptians sense of

order in every detail is so strong that any little variation seems to upset it entirely.

The Egyptian artist began his work by drawing a network of straight lines on the

wall, and he distributed his figures with great care along these lines. And yet all this

geometrical sense of order did not prevent him from observing the details of nature

with amazing accuracy. Every bird or fish or butterfly is drawn with such truthful-

ness that zoologists can still recognize the species.”

(selected by me)

John Clare, ‘I Am’.

I am—yet what I am none cares or knows;

My friends forsake me like a memory lost:

I am the self-consumer of my woes—

They rise and vanish in oblivious host,

Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes

And yet I am, and live …

"The Road Not Taken" , Robert Frost
( the central theme is the divergence of paths, both literally and figuratively )

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves, no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
