This document provides summaries of various artists' maps of lower Manhattan. Some of the maps depict the area through unique artistic lenses and themes, such as a fictional history mixing folklore and urban legends, a vision of Manhattan cut off by a canal, or experiences of the city through its public transportation system. Other maps explore themes of global politics, personal memories and love stories, or spaces where one can escape for quiet. The maps are presented as part of an exhibition exploring expanded notions of maps and mapping places, people, feelings and experiences.

Rauschenberg, Robert (Milton Ernest)
(b Port Arthur, TX, 22 Oct 1925; d Captiva Island, FL, 12 May 2008).
American painter, sculptor, printmaker, photographer, and performance artist. While too much of an individualist ever to be fully a part of any movement, he acted as an important bridge between Abstract Expressionism and Pop art and can be credited as one of the major influences in the return to favour of representational art in the USA. As iconoclastic in his invention of new techniques as in his wide-ranging iconography of modern life, he suggested new possibilities that continued to be exploited by younger artists throughout the latter decades of the 20th century.
1. Training and early work, to 1953.
Rauschenberg studied at Kansas City Art Institute and School of Design from 1947 to 1948 under the terms of the GI Bill before travelling to Paris, where he attended the Académie Julian for a period of about six months. On reading about the work of Josef Albers he returned to the USA to study from autumn 1948 to spring 1949 at BLACK MOUNTAIN COLLEGE, where he was taught byAlbers and his wife Anni Albers; he moved in spring 1949 to New York, where he attended the Art Students League until 1952. During this period he continued to visit Black Mountain College, where he came into contact with members of the department of music and dance, in particularJOHN CAGE and MERCE CUNNINGHAM, who helped shape his own ideas and in particular his reliance on chance methods, daily experiences and found material as elements of his art.
In the early 1950s, just as Abstract Expressionism was being recognized as the most important avant-garde movement to have emerged in the USA, Rauschenberg produced several series of abstract paintings: a group of White Paintings (1951; e.g. artist’s col., see 1980–81 exh. cat., p. 259), followed by Black Paintings (1951–2; e.g. artist’s col., see 1976–8 exh. cat., p. 67) and Red Paintings (1953; e.g. Beverly Hills, CA, Frederick R. Weisman priv. col., see 1976–8 exh. cat., p. 75). His concern, however, was not so much to project his personality through the individuality of the brushwork, as in action painting, but to present the textured surfaces of these essentially monochromatic works as screens whose appearance changed in response to the lighting conditions and the shadows cast on them by the spectators.
The first of Rauschenberg’s monochromes, some of which were painted on multiple panels measuring over 3 m in width overall, were made as backdrops for dance performances. While their austerity of form prefigures Minimalism of the 1960s, they were thus conceived largely in relation to the human figure. Rauschenberg’s importance and influence, in fact, were centred from the beginning on the highly original ways in which he reintroduced recognizable imagery. From 1949 to 1951 he and his wife, Susan Weil, whom he had met as a fellow student in Paris and married in 1950, produced a group of large-scale monoprints by shining a s ...
In Feb 2015 I visited an exhibition in London's Somerset House entitled 'Mapping the city'. I found it inspiring, so prepared a short presentation for my colleagues at HERE.com, however this is relevant for anyone interested in design, maps and street art.
Approved by Pablo invited 50 international street artists to present a series of ‘cartographic’ representations of their chosen cities. Ranging from literal to highly abstract, each map was a response to the way these artists experienced and interpreted the places that they know so well.
The call for submissions consisted of three words ‘Map your space’, and this presentation shows how some of the artists responded.
