Karin Sander: Ideoscapes 13 July - 2 September 2023 Opening reception this Thursday, 13 July at 5-7pm

i8 Gallery is pleased to present Ideoscapes, a solo exhibition by Karin Sander. The artist first exhibited at i8 in 2001 and this is Sander‘s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. The #show will open with a reception for the artist on 13 July from 5-7pm and remain on view until 2 September.

Sander’s Ideoscapes features maquettes of twelve Icelandic mountain landscapes retrieved and printed directly from Google Earth 3D geospatial data. Approaching the digital data as found objects, the artist’s minimal intervention consists of selecting the data at scales just big enough to contain each mountain and its surrounding context, given the maximum width of the printer’s output.

Ideoscapes captures each mountain as a memory of sorts, its data’s conflated past moments of Google Earth’s scanning, imaging, and compositing retrieved by Karin Sander at a specific date and time. In installation, removed from a sense of shared history, geography, and scale, the landscapes suggest their own intangible, resonant qualities. The works, printed with the latest technology, are immaculate and precise, but precision is a relative term. Here it defines a faithfulness to the data rather than the landscapes themselves. The works are not models but rather 3D landscape paintings, or perhaps more accurately, 3D landscape photographs since they are in essence printed images. They are, in fact, 3D renderings of composited 3D scans and 2D images of 3D geologic features, and in this translation the precision lies as much in their finished forms as the artist’s ability to divine poetic potentials across the disconnects and ambiguities in and between the processes of their making.
