“Human Topographies” presents artist Dan Mills’ wide-ranging, decades-old interest in history, exploration, games and wordplay in order to investigate national and global networks of power, commerce and migration.
Mills created luminous, layered paintings and collages about our shared human history using maps and data to expose the legacies of imperialism: war, colonialism, mass incarceration and the forced displacement of indigenous peoples. Dan Mills: Human Topographies will be on view in the Galleries at IUPUI Herron School of Art and Design from Sept. 2 to Oct. 17, 2020.
A virtual reception will take place via Zoom from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 10, featuring the exhibiting artists. This event is free and open to the public with advance registration. To register, visit go.iu.edu/3cfh.
