TOPOPHOBIA

About

Conceived and curated by Anne Eggebert and Polly Gould, TOPOPHOBIA is the product of their long-term collaboration as artists and curators under the name of Eggebert-and-Gould. The exhibition and accompanying publication look at the representation of place and space as both threatened and threatening. The fear of place and its interpretation/interrogation through contemporary art is the territory for TOPOPHOBIA. . As an anxiety disorder, topophobia is an irrational dread of certain places or situations. However, considered as a cultural manifestation, the condition connects us to existential human questions of how we find our place in the world.
