Lordy Rodriguez Downtown (2007)
Via Alaina comes this interesting exhibition by the soon-but not-quite-built New Museum entitled, Get Lost: Artists Map Downtown New York:

…a collective portrait of downtown New York. Twenty-one international artists were invited to create a personal view of the city and draw a map of downtown New York, uncovering a territory that is both real and imaginary.
GET LOST brings together fictional landscapes, utopian visions, private memories, and obsessive instructions to explore Manhattan, its past, present, and future.

This exhibition will showcase the city as seen from its’ residents, a city which each view reveals the incongruity of lvining together check-to-jowl with 8 million people. From Thurston Moore’s 70’s nostalgia to Cory Arcangel’s Google Maps of urban dislocation to Lordy Rodriguez’s act of slicing the city this looks to be an interesting take on New York, even if it is tilted toward the Downtown lot.
What is interesting is that copies of the maps are available for free at participating galleries and markers of the downtown scene and cultural organizations.
