Victoria Martinez

Through July, we are pleased to present work by Victoria Martinez.

The four maps on display are inspired by the Psychogeographic guide of Paris created by Guy Debord and the Situationist International (SI) movement. The works of art are a reimagination of the maps made by the artist which includes Lake Michigan, the body, watermelon, a city wall, and Aztec mythology.
