The artists in this portfolio address their relationship with their world(s) using the dimensions that Martin Waldseemüller used in his “gore map” of 1507. Waldseemüller’s print is a two-dimensional map that could be stuck to a three-dimensional globe in order to create a globe map that was a spherical representation of the geographical knowledge of his day. Each artist will map his or her own sphere, inspired by this original gore prototype for spherical mapping.
Paper Size: 12 x 18
Image Size: 13.75 inch width by 7.25 inches - participants are encouraged to creatively explore the format of the Waldseemüller gore map within this image size.
