"They were to sail for months over the breezy Atlantic and the sunny Mediterranean; they were to scamper about the decks by day, filling the ship with shouts and laughter - or read novels and poetry in the shade of the smokestacks, or watch for the jelly-fish and the nautilus over the side, and the shark, the wale, and other strange monsters of the deep." Mark Twain, 1869
Is it possible that there are still clandestine places on the globe despite GPS, Google Earth and CCTV?
ALINE VON DER ASSEN, this year's Student Jerwood Drawing Prize winner, accompanied by a group of ten promising emerging artists, are facing the arduous and adventurous journey to find yet undiscovered worlds.
NEW TERRITORIES presents the intriguing and enthralling finds of their expedition, leading to a multimap of expressions, from drawing and painting to sculpture and performance.
The outcome is an atlas of the hidden, revealed and imagined. The multitude of findings reaches from social and cultural grounds to the exploration of romantic, idealized and imagined landscapes and space worlds. The heart of the exhibitions is the anachronistic position of the artists to research the concept of 'terra incognita' in the era of the 'global village' and times of permanent surveillance.
