Orbis Terrarum - Brief Article

ArtForum,  May, 2000  by Miriam Rosen

MUSEUM PLANTIN-MORETUS

Taking its title from the first modern atlas--Antwerp cartographer Abraham Ortelius's 1570 Theatrum orbis terrarum, printed in what is today the Museum Plantin-Moretus--this exhibition juxtaposes works by thirty-six international artists with a selection of major atlases from the golden age of Flemish and Dutch cartography. With contemporary works from the likes of Laurie Anderson, Fischli & Weiss, Mona Hatoum, Uri Tzaig, and Gabriel Orozco, plus public projects by Chris Burden, Thomas Hirschhorn, Job Koelewijn, Aglaia Konrad, Matt Mullican, and Remy Zaugg, the show examines the ways we have seen, imagined, and "imaged" the world, from the time of the great sea voyages to that of the orbiting satellite. June 22-Sept. 24.
