PRESS RELEASE

The International 3 is pleased to announce the launch of Not for Navigation, a solo exhibition by Hondartza Fraga. Taking its title from inscriptions found on illustrative rather than functional maps, Not for Navigation brings together new and existing works that demonstrate the artist’s ongoing exploration of our individual and collective relationship to landscape and an examination of the spatial, temporal, emotional, cultural and imagined distance that exists between ourselves and everything / everyone else.

Alongside screen based works and two new large scale drawings, Mappa (Hemispheres) and Blank Orrery; both of which investigate the act of mapping,Not for Navigation will also include the inaugural presentation of Hondartza’s major project 365 Globes. Produced by the artist from 1st January 2015 to 31st December 2015, this work comprises of 365 A5 pencil drawings of earth globes; one made on each day of the year. A new publication of the same name will also be launched to accompany the exhibition. Published by East Street Arts in a limited first edition of 366 copies; echoing 2016 as a leap year,365 Globes brings together images of all of the drawings alongside an essay commissioned by The International 3, written by Rebecca Morrill (Senior Editor at Phaidon). Books will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition.

Not for Navigationis supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and is supported by The International 3’s Patrons. Thank you to University of Salford for equipment hire.
