Artlyst - Visionary Cities: Michael Takeo Magruder – British Library

My latest review for Artlyst is of Michael Takeo Magruder's Imaginary Cities at the British Library:

'Magruder translates his source material – which are precious entities in their own right – into either digitally immersive or physically tangible artefacts that re-present their source in alternative forms. These enthrall and convince in and of themselves, while also enhancing our appreciation for the source itself. To do so requires the paying of attention both to the source map and to the properties of the form in which the re-presentation occurs. The creation of these installations is, therefore, a labour of love.'
