Pressbox (Press Release) -
YOU ARE HERE is a curated online exhibition presented by @katmapped opening 12 November 2020 and running until 12 December 2020 at www.katmapped.org. Ths exhibition explores how the concept of maps and mapping, internal and external, is informing living artists works and thoughts. The exhibition presents a stimulating and visually striking grouping of works; it spans drawing, video, sculpture, photography and installation from artists around the world.
The YOU ARE HERE exhibition has been curated by two practising artists: Kate Trafeli, working out of London, and James Stewart, working out of Devon. The selections were chosen after evaluation by the curators, working in tandem remotely, from 400 submissions received in response to an open call request made by katmapped.
Because unprecedented times have changed how and where artists work, show their work, and what they are creating in an uncharted world, this exhibition presents an avenue for artists and viewers to collectively participate in the arts while many museums, galleries and shows remain closed.
The aim of this exhibition is to showcase living artists making engaging work separately that is thematically cohesive, in an accessible way for both viewers and artists: here, geography and lockdowns do not constrain us.
