Cartographic Grids (Conic Projection) [Grilles cartographiques (La vraie Conie)]

Description du catalogue
A horizontal section of a spherical grid within a thin border is drawn by hand on Mylar paper. The straight lines gradually shift to free drawn lines from the top of the grid towards the bottom and at intersection points towards the center are minute twists and irregularities. This is one of Geuer’s early geophysical grid maps, where the finely scribed lines are barely visible on the white Mylar unless held up to light. The grid reveals an underlying truth or reality represented by a scientific process, appropriating the basic gridlines of longitude and latitude, and abstracting them to investigate of our sense of place.
