This collection . . . prompts questions about what defines a map, and also about the notion of any map being definitive. It's an open-ended invitation to see the world afresh.


This collection . . . prompts questions about what defines a map, and also about the notion of any map being definitive. It s an open-ended invitation to see the world afresh.


A collection of dazzling and provocative alternative maps that will make you rethink the world we live in.


Brings artistry and imagination back into mapmaking. . . . The result is a visually arresting volume filled with works by the likes of Yoko Ono, Matthew Barney, Ed Ruscha, and Gilbert and George.


The collection is stunning in its breadth: Renderings of imagined utopian lands, ideas, scientific phenomena, human migration and simply the unmappable all reveal the political and playful impulses in mapmaking.
