Maps remixed

Anyone who's seen Bill Drummond perform How to be an Artist will know the artistic value in maps. He praises the colours, the curves and the contours. It's a compelling passionate argument.

For those who need more evidence, look no further than the work of Layla Curtis. Her latest work, NewcastleGateshead is said to be causing confusion on Tyneside. It's an image of the area, made from maps of identically named places across the world. A subversive remix if you like. I'm sure Drummond would be amused.
