The new volume from the Infinite Publication Series explores hidden complexities of the American Midwest. Mixing regional history, art, geography, and architecture, Atlas of Remoteness: Midwest USA demonstrates how walking a line can uncover the unique character of the region. Each chapter represents a walk on the LINE - an invisible, theoretical, spatial device drawn across the globe at an arbitrary angle, skewed from the typical grids and geometries of the built environment. Using walking, mapping, sketching, photographing, and researching as their tools, a group of artists and architectural researchers explore themes of remoteness, property, colonization, and Americana. Atlas of Remoteness: Midwest USA is a contemplative take on the environmental, social, and architectural histories of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and the surrounding region, that will challenge and deepen the reader’s understanding of this region.
