Jim Kempner Fine Art presents Paula Scher: Designing the World, featuring paintings and hand-painted prints that reinterpret cartography. Drawing on lessons from her father, a U.S. mapping engineer, Scher highlights how maps contain distortions, hierarchies, and bias. Her dense, text-filled compositions transform geographic imagery into expressive fields of information, prompting viewers to reconsider maps as constructed interpretations rather than objective records.
