The Map is Not the Territory 

Graphic design: Audrey Plante, Camille Tanguay and Louise Paradis

The Map is Not the Territory is an exhibition by French artist Karine Bonneval and Swiss artist Mériol Lehmann, who has lived in Quebec for 40 years. Presented together at the Grantham Foundation, the two artists' original works engage in a dialogue about the fragile ecology of the land. The Map is Not the Territory invites us to consider the soil as a lived space, host to a multitude of living organisms and bearer of an affective memory. Each of the two installations that make up the exhibition attempts to bridge the gap between the representation of the world and its reality, between the cartographic tools that abstractly map and characterize environments and what actually happens on the ground. The exhibition will be on view at the Foundation from May 4 to June 9.
