poster d’artiste édition limitée, 32cmX47cm
Projet d’artiste crée pour l’exposition The Projects: Port Credit organisée par la Blackwood Gallery. Il s’agit d’un poster de la carte routière de Port Credit comprenant une piste cyclable détaillée qui retrace l’histoire et les frontières de cette ville côtière. Cette piste mêle informations historiques et statistiques. Avec ce projet je propose une route qui lie physiquement et cinétiquement les diverses communautés qui constituent Port Credit.

For the Projects: Port Credit 2010 exhibition organized by Blackwood Gallery, I have proposed a new local cartography through the creation of a meandering cycling route that retraces history and borders. Revisiting these frontiers and boundaries in an effort to examine the transition from then to now and old to new; I remap a configuration of the old Village of Port Credit, physically linking it with the various communities and requisite components that eventually comprise Port Credit as it is now known. The project mines history, embeds the former within the current geography and thus emphasizes a process of ongoing change. I have created a map with proposed route details - including statistical information and historical references - that will be available gratis to visitors of the exhibition.
While creating this route I decided to chronicle my explorations and cycling ordeals - via GPS tracking, video and text ... to view my attempts at mapping out Port Credit's borders by bike click here
