Mapping Space: Selections from the Collection
November 17, 2005 – April
9, 2006
Plaza Level Gallery
Mapping fulfils a basic human desire to understand the world
around us and our place in it. Mapping Space, inspired by MAM’s
permanent collection, shows ways in which artists use line,
image, and actual maps to chart physical, psychological, and
metaphorical spaces. The exhibition features approximately
40 art works drawn from MAM’s permanent holdings and
private collections, including a large wall installation by
Argentinean artist Miguel Angel Rios, entitled Plume Crest,
recently donated to the museum. Other artists included in the
exhibition are Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Joseph Cornell, Russell
Crotty, Alfredo Jaar, Guilllermo Kuitca, and Luisa Basnuevo.
