"In this book, Claire Reddleman introduces her theoretical innovation ""cartographic abstraction"" – a material modality of thought and experience that is produced through cartographic techniques of depiction. Reddleman closely engages with selected artworks (by contemporary artists such as Joyce Kozloff, Layla Curtis, and Bill Fontana) and theories in each chapter. Reconfiguring the Foucauldian underpinning of critical cartography towards a materialist theory of abstraction, cartographic viewpoints are theorised as concrete abstractions. This research is positioned at the intersection of art theory, critical cartography and materialist philosophy."

Reviews for Cartographic Abstraction in Contemporary Art: Seeing with Maps

Cartographic visions and the Apollo's eye organized, ordered, quantified, and defined the spaces of the modern world. How do we make sense of a contemporary world in which surveillance cameras, drones, and satellites are no longer strange but are our everyday reality? Claire Reddleman's inspired book brings together critical cartographic studies with the work of artists whose creations depend on maps, drones, and related tools. This, the resulting book, generates theoretical tools for grappling with uncertain times. - James Housefield, University of California, Davis
