We Are Here

Experimental Geography, the touring exhibition organized by Nato Thompson, has a catalog set to release this coming January. Since the Travel Office contributed a map to the "We Are Here Map Archive" component of the show (organized by AREA Chicago's Daniel Tucker), we received an early copy.
It's a really great publication in many regards. To start with, there is the full color reproduction of so many great projects, including Bureau d'etudes, Center for Urban Pedagogy, LA Urban Rangers, Hackitektura, subRosa and more. Then essays by Thompson, Trevor Paglen and Jeffrey Kastnor, supplemented by short contributions from Matt Coolidge, Iain Kerr, Damon Rich and Lize Mogel that introduce the works in the exhibition. One can always ask for more from a publication of this sort - there will always be gaps of some kind - but it really works as a concise collection of projects and contextual history/theory for beginning to consider where these practices might point for further development.
