We know that there are two maps – one that is objectively driven and one that is individually perceived. Equally, there are cartographers-explorers and cartographers-artists. If one understands the link between reality and representation, as it exists within a work of art, it becomes clear that what is perceived as immediate is actually the relationship between experience and the means of depiction. On show: Oliver Laric, Jeremy Deller, Paul Maheke, Matt Mullican, James Lewis, Kiki Smith, Walid Raad, Ibrahim Mahama, Otobong Nkanga, Rochelle Goldberg, Seymour Chwast, Enam Gbewonyo, Sanford Biggers and Sarah Entwistle.

Divided into three sections, the exhibition considers globes of all ages and origins as expressions of social conventions that have imposed boundaries, decreed orientation to the south, north or east, reified abstract concepts of power and dominion, vehemently asserted a place in the world or conveyed intense emotions of fragility and beauty.
From the mappae mundi found in thirteenth-century prayer books, to the extraordinary cartographic constructions of the world of ocean trade, and from contemporary geographical carpets to Google’s map of the world, the exhibition offers a reflection on the dynamics of constructing the image of the world with which we deal on a daily basis.
“Mind the Map!” illustrates the bold human intellectual attempt to draw the earth’s surface and to see it all together in a single graphic representation. It invites us to pay close attention to the map, to all maps, which are often mistakenly used as substitutes for reality in an unconcerned and unthinking manner. Paying attention to them means entering worlds with their autonomous and multi-faceted complexity.

The Australian Aboriginal art collection, part of the Luciano Benetton Collection, is acknowledged as seeking to acquire insight into the artistic, cultural, and social lives of prominent artists and communities making what is understood in Australia as Aboriginal Art. The exhibition offers visitors a large installation of over two hundred painted canvases, creating a vibrant landscape of colours, to be observed from above and from a certain distance, as befits sacred spaces and places that are approached with respect.
