Coupling the grammar of cartography with elements from the Proust Questionnaire entitled "The Knowledge : Land of Wisdom & Land of Achievement", Poitevin-Navarre explores notions of identity and value. By democratically marking survey responses of people from all walks of life onto a series of London borough maps, the artist highlights emergent patterns of collective wisdom, personal achievements and aspirations. The anonymity of each response to the Proust Questionnaire allows for a more open interpretation; contributors can be true to themselves whilst answering the questions, and the audience is unable to pass judgment based on gender, age, race and creed. Agnes also plays with the notion of the census, addressing the 'reputations' of certain boroughs. (There is also and artist talk/Q&A on 10/1/09 at 3pm)
