Maps of Things Past


The brilliant art-world cartographies of Loren Munk.

The cartographic canvases on display are local histories in which the past is overlaid on a geographic present, their tangle of colored lines resembling some cross between a subway map, a conspiracy board, and a family tree of our ancestors. There’s Fun Gallery, where Keith Haring and Kenny Sharf showed; Gracie Manson, who discovered David Wojnarowicz; International With Monument at 111 East 7th Street, where Peter Halley and Jeff Koons got started. We find the addresses of Alex Katz, Lee Bontecque, Eric Fischl, Nam June Paik, Don Judd, Jennifer Bartlett, John Wesley, Dorthea Rockburne, On Kawara, Marisol, Elizabeth Murray, Christo, Richard Serra, and Joan Jonas (who is still living here).
