Project
AP207.S1.1989.PR02
Description:
The project series documents "Mappe Recinti Itinerari Territori", a rug made of eleven small tapestries hand-woven together. Pettena designed this rug for a special production for "Megalopoli" in 1989. Each of the tapestries represent four subjects: itineraries, territories, maps and enclosures. These subjects "are the means required for the definition of space inside or outside those “magic circles” that are the walls of a city, the beginning of a construction, as the rituals that are performed inside any enclosure take on a unique quality and role, different from whatever lies beyond this boundary." [1] The project series contains a reference photograph and photo montages of the eleven small tapestries forming the rug.

Figuring Territory
The film program turns to artists examining the ways territories are imagined, represented, and governed. Moving through simulated landscapes, aerial surveys, borders, and systems of measurement, the films trace how territory is made available to power before violence becomes visible.
