Maps are usually seen as practical things, not works of art. The curator James Lingwood thinks otherwise. His exhibition at Thomas Dane Gallery in Naples investigates the power maps hold as objects, designs, inspiration. The exhibition’s title, “Atlante,” comes from the Italian word for “atlas.” A portfolio by Claudio Parmiggiani centers on deflated blow-up globes, captured by Luigi Ghirri in 1970. Ghirri, who photographed pages from his own atlas in 1973, focuses on close-ups of diverse landscapes, what he calls a “journey through images” (in an essay, Ghirri writes that “within the atlas, all possible journeys are already described, all itineraries already traced”). The Cape Town artist Igshaan Adams is represented by a tapestry that shimmer with beads and wires. Some of the artists use Google Maps satellite images, others evoke charts of movement to symbolize the murkiness of current “geo-political weather.” —Maggie Turner
