Nikolas R. Schiller has an upcoming gallery exhibition in Washington, DC that will feature his map "Israel / Palestine 1993." Printed at 48" by 32" using archival inks on stretched canvas, a limited edition of ten signed copies will be made available for sale at the Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery in the Washington, DC Jewish Community Center. Opening night is Thursday, February 21st, 2008 from 5pm to 7pm and the exhibition will be up until June 2nd, 2008.
This is his description of the map:
In the summer of 2006, Schiller was working as a multimedia specialist at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University. His coworker of Egyptian decent had recently married her long-time boyfriend whose family was from northern Lebanon. The week he started his employment, she had just purchased tickets to Beirut to visit his family for the first time, and, unfortunately, a conflict broke out. The airport was bombed, their honeymoon cancelled. As an emotional reflection of her sadness, this map was synthesized. At the time of its creation, this map was the first quilt projection map to feature a scanned map. It marks a strong departure from Schiller's most prolific series of maps created from high-resolution aerial photography.
Designed as a hexagon quilt projection map, the source map is from a 1993 Central Intelligence Agency map of Israel and Palestine, obtained from the Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. Originally drawn with implied cartographic ambiguity, Palestine is represent as awkward stripes, and the phrase "status to be determined" was used to signify that the geography was and is still changing.
A cartouche is a cartographic design element that involves the stylistic rendering of scrolls, shields, and legends on old maps. This map contains a cartoon cartouche of a character named Handala by Naji al-Ali(c.1938-1987). The iconic cartoon character represents Ali at 10 years of age when he was forced to leave Palestine. In this map, he floats above Israel and Palestine with his head circling the word Israel on the map. His presence both interrupts the symmetrical balance of the map and acts as a scroll by presenting a discussion item for those who do not know of the character or what he represents.

New Exhibition Explores Artists’ Interpretations of Mapping Israel and Palestine How can we look at maps, which are often considered to be a reflection of history and objectivity, as lenses through which we can interpret the social milieu of Israel? Do people define and draw borders, or do borders define and create a “people” (or a peoplehood?) How can boundaries be examined in a way that is not staunch and constrictive, but rather open to other ways of knowing a specific landscape?
The exhibition ‘L(A)ttitudes’ which opens at the Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery on February 21 raises more questions than it provides answers. The exhibition does attempt to create an inclusive conversation by focusing on explorations by contemporary artists, of various viewpoints, working in a variety of forms and styles. ‘L(A)ttitudes’ includes work by 10 artists from five different countries. Highlights include Alban Biaussat’s 55 photographs interpreting the Green Line; frescos of historic maps by Joyce Kozloff; manipulated atlas works by Doug Beube; two installations: one a 25-foot “Orange Map” floor installation by Avner Bar Hama, and a commissioned wall installation by Simonetta Moro; Yoav Galai’s black and white photographs of the separation wall in Israel; two works from local artists: Nikolas Schiller’s digital manipulation of a CIA map, and Anna Fine Foer’s collage remembering Biblical Israel; and pieces from Karey Kessler and Mel Watkin who are working with psychogeography, interpreting and creating maps, and taking a new approach to boundaries and borders in and around Israel.
‘L(A)ttitudes’ will open on Thursday, February 21 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. with some of the artists, and will run through June 2. In conjunction with the exhibition, the Washington DCJCC will offer opportunities to engage in dialogues on Israel and the Middle East. Visit http://www.washingtondcjcc.org/center-for-arts/gallery or call (202) 777-3208 for information. The Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Note that the gallery is closed for Jewish holidays.) Admission is free.

Message from Saul: eel the music. Son, we got you programmed like a beat. When I press snare, yo, guard your grill. Press kick, you move your feet. You can't compete. I got my hydrants parked on every street. I'm federal NGH. Son of Sun. Come close and feel the heat. I am the streets. The white lines only separate me from me. You hydroplane in false gods name and still crash into me: Sign and Tree; Mountainside; Guard Rail; into the sea. They thought they stole you from my arms then carried you to me.
Here's the key: DNA encoded in a beat. White rocks in a vial, NGH, ain't got nuthin' on me. BCH I'm free. Ask these editors at MTV. Far as they, know they're publishing some new school poetry. Let it be. 'Cause even that will do to turn the key. Doorways into other worlds. The Truth shall set you free. YOU are me, I am you, but also I'm (s)he. Shepherd of a bastard flock that grazes in the streets. Feel the beat. Nod your head. Lean back, yo, touch your feet. Let me see you pop that thang right thur girl in your seat. Feel the heat. Count this page amongst your whitest sheets. Comfort in my every word. Slide under. Countless sheep.
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of……………………….YOU!

The theme this month is Revolution.... Wear something inspired by Revolution and get in for only $5! (regular admission is $8)
Get creative with your outfits, you can wear a t-shirt or button inspired by your favorite revolutionary, or you can go over the top and dress up like your favorite revolutionary - it doesn't matter how you do it, just find a creative way to go along with the theme.
Saturday, January 19, a creative amalgamation of LIVE art including 3 graphic designers, electronica music acts, tribal belly dancers, independent fashion designers and other local artists will take over BeBar (1318 9th St. NW) for a 4 hour, 21st century Live-Art 'Happening'.
At the event, a juror will provide the participating graphic designers with three words. The designers will have 4 hours to create a poster for 'X', using these words as inspiration for their designs. Their laptops will be hooked up to large displays, revealing their approaches and creative process to the audience.
At the end of the event, the curator will select a winning design. The winner's design will be used on promotional material for the next X as well as potentially incorporated into an art book.
Washington DC is rapidly changing. Soaring property prices and widescale development are literally forcing local residents out of the city. Chocolate City explores the rapid gentrification of the US capital through the eyes of a group of black women forced from their city center homes to make way for massive reconstruction. With the symbols and monuments of the world's most powerful democracy on their doorsteps, their story calls into question the fundamental foundations upon which the USA claims to be based.
So, the film will be shown at these times: - 24 January, 6.30 – 8.30pm, Festival Centre, 1640 Columbia Road, NW, DC 20009 - 26 January, 11pm, Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th Street, NW, DC 20009 - 31 January, evening screening to be announced, Continental Ballroom (Marvin Centre), George Washington University, 2121 I Street, NW, DC 20052 - 10 February, 4pm, Our City Film Festival, Busboys and Poets, 2021 14th Street, NW, DC 20009
