“For two years, I have collaborated with the Columbia River Orienteering to produce orienteering events at the Portland Art Museum for the now-annual Shine A Light event. The museum was instituted as a site for sport, offering a new approach to navigating the museum\u2019s \u2018terrain,\u2019 while simultaneously offering a unique art-viewing opportunity to the back-woods competitor.”<\/p>\n

“Orienteering is one of very few sports that relies on the interpretation of visual material such as maps and symbols.\u00a0 Like art, it depends on a complex system of visual imagery and demands a level of visual literacy from its participants.<\/p>\n

Typically, the sport of orienteering involves navigating one\u2019s way between specified points of woodland terrain with the aid of a topographical map and compass. The sport combines creative decision-making, physical endurance, and navigational skills in some of the most scenic wilderness areas in the world.\u00a0 A standard orienteering course<\/a> consists of a series of sites or features to be found \u2013 each indicated as symbols, colors and patterns on a map. On the ground, orange and white control flags mark the locations that the orienteer must locate.<\/p>\n

Interpretive maps, visual symbols and markers are equally common to the landscape of museums, galleries and other cultural sites. I am interested in using the conventions of an orienteering map to mark museum features and cultural sites in distinctive topographical terms.\u00a0 I want to use orienteering as a ready-made performance and as an existing system for navigating art.”\"POM9\"<\/a> \"POM5\"<\/a><\/p>\n
