Lize Mogel is an interdisciplinary artist and counter-cartographer. Her work intersects with the fields of popular education, cultural production, public policy, and mapping. She has mapped public parks in Los Angeles; future territorial disputes in the Arctic; and wastewater economies in New York City. She is co-editor of “An Atlas of Radical Cartography,” a project that significantly influenced the conversation and production around mapping and activism.
Exhibitions include the Sharjah (U.A.E.), Gwangju (South Korea) and Pittsburgh Biennials, “Greater New York” (PS1, New York City), “Experimental Geography,” and “Diagrams of Power” (OCAD, Toronto). She has lectured extensively about her work nationally and internationally. She has been an artist in residence at Headlands Center for the Arts, LMCC/Governors Island, and Community Artist-in-Residence at the Whitney Museum.
Her current project, “Walking the Watershed,” is a long-term engagement with the landscape, history, and politics of New York City’s water supply, and the relationship between the City and the mostly rural communities that supply its water.
