The city and its maps. Cartographic representations of Amsterdam in conceptual art
Abstract
This paper reflects on maps both as an instrument for the representation of territory and as a poetic instrument which is appropriable by artistic practices. To do so it analyzes the work of three conceptual artists who developed part of their production in Amsterdam during the sixties and seventies. In this context, Sol LeWitt, Stanley Brouwn and Jan Dibbets, gathered around the Art & Project gallery, developed fragmentary and experiential representations of the city through the use of maps.
