The title "Mapping" deals with a topic usually associated with cartography -
creating maps, or the term from mathematics that deals with functions. The
map is a compilation of agreed upon symbols that describe ideas - a flat and
schematically small description of the surface of the Earth. In the past,
map making was thought of as a secretive art carried out by specialists. The
term in mathematics denotes a function that pairs a variable from one group
with a variable in another group. It describes the dependency of variables,
a borrowed characterization in the fields of science or economics. Maps also
exist in different fields - anatomy maps, maps of terms, etc. The artists
participating in this exhibition have mapped their personal or social
experiences - stories from their lives and culture to which they belong. A
book summarizing the different stages of the Markers Project (2001 - 2011)
will be published and will also contain the art works of the current
exhibition.
