Positioning Systems, a group show featuring eight Artist Run Club members, looks at the multi-point perspectives and spatial orientations individuals encounter navigating landscapes or tracking routes in the digital age. Shown together, the works investigate how one’s relationship to the environment is affected or distorted by the simultaneous existence as a body with two feet on the ground, a pulsing dot on a grid, and the liminal space in-between.

The title of the exhibition refers to the navigation and cartography satellite systems such as GPS or WGS (Google Earth). Scaling back, Positioning Systems also includes anchor sites or grounding techniques that inform our locality – such as lingering rubble from past landmarks or intimate views from personal pathways. Together informing a comprehensive albeit disjointed vantage point that encompasses both physical and digital positions.
