Photo from Carte de CaliforniaCarte de California: Contested Terrain features artists who explore California's landscapes, which were surveyed and plundered concurrent with the development of photography and the rise of popular image reproduction techniques like the carte-de-viste and stereo-card. Works in the exhibition will consider mapped spaces as divisional device and means of establishing the Other while questioning the arbitrary nature of boundaries that attempt to declare normal vs. marginal, mine vs. yours, the empowered vs. the the exploited, and what is valued or abandoned. Carte de California: Contested Terrain will ask viewers to consider the contemporary implications of Manifest Destiny policies and capitalist practices as they mark the western landscape a contested terrain.
