LAST CHANCE Global Positioning System

An ambitious large-scale group exhibition dedicated to mapping and navigation systems, “telling stories of fast cars and donkeys, spinning globes and street barricades, cosmic highways and broken bridges … [it] delves into topographies, transit lines and simulated landscapes to engage critically with the infrastructure of movement and navigation”. Set against real and imagined geographies and landscapes, the exhibition asks questions about the infrastructures that enable transport and trade, the promises of speed and progress, the meaning of home, and what ‘navigation’ means when the destination is not a place but a memory … It is curated by Indranjan Banerjee and Lucas Morin (both exhibition curators at the Jameel) and features 30 artists. A second ‘chapter’ of the exhibition runs at Hayy Jameel in Jeddah to 26 October featuring 22 artists – a third of whom are from the Dubai roster, with new names making up the balance.
