Matthew Langley has an interesting take on the Center for Land Use Interpretation (who I have mentioned once before):
The Center is notorious in not taking a political or should I say accountable stand in the actual use of land. The mundane of the administrative is really the focus - this acts as a substitute for the drama of the tangible (or the beautiful). This approach - using some of the smaller strategies from conceptual art and looking at the edges of our cultural use of the space we live in is the open ended map that The CLUI is creating.
If you've never checked out the CLUI before, you should. You can get lost in their land use database. You can also get lost in their recently published book, Overlook.
