Contents Introduction: from critical cartography to cartographic abstraction: rethinking the production of cartographic viewing through contemporary artworks -- Reconfiguring the view from nowhere: collage and complicity in targets by Joyce Kozloff -- The drone's eye view: networked vision and visibility in works by James Bridle and Trevor Paglen -- Remote viewing, cartographic abstraction and the antipodes: three works by Layla Curtis -- Signification in the soundscape: Bill Fontana's River sounding -- Cartographic abstraction: a material modality of thought and experience
Summary "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."--Provided by publisher
