Collective cartographies, new interpretations of social and architectural spaces, the intersecting use of urban space, in short: visualising other, unofficial interpretations of cities and other communities is the approach taken by the Argentinian artist-activists Iconoclasistas. Above all, they make use of the pictorial languages and graphical strategies used at the various locations. The workshops in which they elaborate their maps – like the one that precedes the exhibition in Graz – are communication laboratories. Strolling around the city, they collect objects and experiences, actual and imaginary memories feature alongside real finds and newly created objects. But the aim of Iconoclasistas’ research, their serious game with the tools of art and sociology, is always concrete political understanding and action.
