Through his ceramic sculpture, mixed media constructions, photography, and public installations, artist and “topophiliac” Gregor Turk investigates issues related to mapping, cultural signage, and marking place. “The appeal of mapping is not the actual geographic information but what that information tells us about ourselves as individuals and as a culture. I tend to focus on the fundamental qualities of mapping—the mysteriousness, inherent biases, cultural authoritativeness, and ability to simultaneously represent and distort reality,” Turk says.
