  • John Michael Kohler Art Center, All Over the Map  Representing both real and imagined places and plotting shifting social and cultural forces, maps function as a metaphor for journeys and allow us to view the world in new ways.

Participating artists Michael Ashkin, Mark Bennett, Russell Crotty, Brian Dettmer, Dawn Gavin, The Hand Drawn Map Association, Kim Jones, Nina Katchadourian, Karey Kessler, Joyce Kozloff, Eva Lee, Maya Lin, Mark Lombardi, Matthew Picton, Lordy Rodriquez, Yumi Janario Roth, Paula Scher, Deb Sokolo, and Renee Van der Selt.
