The Walsh Gallery at Seton Hall University presents \u201cMarking Territory,\u201d a group exhibition co-curated by Alycia Piazza and Erin Healy, graduate students in the university\u2019s Museum Professions program.\u00a0The exhibition features artworks created with repurposed maps, enabling artists to explore a variety of socio-political implications.\u00a0 The exhibition includes metropolitan-area artists Aileen Bassis, Wenye Fang, Joshua Knoblick, Zannah Marsh, Disnarda Pinilla, Nyugen Smith and Mimi Weinberg.\u00a0 Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives stimulate a dialogue on the implications of superimposing lines on land.<\/p>\n

Maps drawn by cartographers and artists have influenced the human understanding of the world from their inception.\u00a0 Maps are not static objects, they are ever-changing to reflect the knowledge, beliefs and circumstances of the people who use and create them. \u201cLike many official documents, maps are something we often take at face value — an essential truth. But as this group of artists demonstrates, maps are far more than simple diagrams or way-finding tools\u201d say co-curators Piazza and Healy. The artists involved in \u201cMarking Territory\u201d have used a variety of media to manipulate maps and highlight themes potentially lost between the lines. Topics addressed in the show include colonialism, identity politics, economic growth and decline, biology, memory and social interaction.<\/p>\n

For 150 years, Seton Hall University has been a catalyst for leadership, developing the whole student, mind, heart and spirit.
