Paula Scher @ Sims Reed Gallery

MAPS: Data isn’t Neutral, are the  works of graphic designer and contemporary artist Paula Scher. The exhibition presents Scher’s iconic series of silk-screen maps published by Art Novel in 2018 as well as earlier maps that illustrate the artist’s ongoing obsession with mapping data across the globe.

Humming with colour and information, Paula Scher’s typographic maps of the world delight, challenge and stimulate her audience. She creates intricate, yet bold visions of an interconnected world that question our reality and ability to process data. The thick layers of ink render mind-bending patterns saturated with names, distances, postcodes; seemingly accurate, but ultimately steeped in subjectivity.
