Nina Katchadourian

Nina Katchadourian

Nina Katchadourian is an American artist (1968 California) Katchadourian is known for her conceptual works that explore themes of mapping, translation and public space.

For example:

Rock Tree Family



I really like the idea of this artwork. It's taking the ideas of mapping people family history and giving a history to something (in the case rocks) that doesn't have family heritage.
This work makes you laugh when you first see it, because of the facts their rocks. But then after looking at it you start to see the connection to the different mother and father rocks the Nina might have/have not seen when making this art work.

I really like this idea of mapping things out and will be doing more research on this topic.
