MigMaps: A Virtual Cartography of European Migration Policies
Peter Spillmann (artist, Zuerich) speaks about the history of critique on mappings as well as presenting the collaborative MigMap. This web-based project conveys a picture of how and where the production of knowledge is currently taking place in the area of migration - and of who is participating in and has access to it. MigMap investigates how the new forms of supranational governance, which can be observed in the European migration regime, function: How European standards in politics and civil society are implemented.

The Division of Earth: Berlin „Kongo Konferenz“ and the „Kiepert map“
Dierk Schmidt (artist, Berlin) focuses on the Berlin-Africa „Congo conference“ in 1884/85. This business meeting of the European nations, triggered by the Belgian King Leopold II, divided the african continent in a ruler-like manner and established the „Berlin borders“, which determine the nation states within the African continent until today. „Unlike 19th-century historical painting that offers striking physical poses, this 21st-century form of historical painting explores the abstractions of the diplomats“, so The Brunei Times on Dierk Schmidt’s documenta-exhibition.


Congo Maps: Layered represations
Sabine Müller (SMAQ architects, Berlin) researched different maps in the Congo region of Kinshasa/Brazzaville. She multi-layered all the maps she could find - from colonial scetches to Google Earth, from car to hotel maps, and from UN carthography to satellite pictures. The research was part of the project‚ BRAKIN Brazzaville Kinshasa - Visulizing the Visible’, published by Lars Müller Publishers and the Jan van Eyck Academie. (www.smaq.net)
