Re-imaginging the Grid

Grids are networks of lines with abilities to transmit electricity, form frameworks, and generate communication. But what if our lines follow desire paths and take us off the sidewalk, form circles, and are made by hand. What if we explore infrastructure by walking, writing letters to the editor, and listening to the environment in order to offer new frameworks for social, political, and personal resilience.

This exhibition includes lines of text, drawn lines, and walked lines in the landscape exploring the grid and the slightly-off-grid. Thanks to Cinema and Media Students at Carleton College, who took part in this exhibition and to John Schott for bringing the Museum of Walking and Angela Ellsworth to Carleton.
