Joyce Kozloff

Joyce Kozloff’s Exterior and Interior Cartographies features drawings, collages, prints, paintings and sculpture. For fifteen years, Kozloff’s art has centered on cartography, blending mutations raising geopolitical issues into her simulacra of old maps. She discovered in these images of physical terrain a mental territory that charts the topography of power.

Joyce Kozloff, born in Somerville, New Jersey, earned a B.F.A. from Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pittsburgh, 1964 and an M.F.A. from New York's Columbia University, 1967. She has been active in the women artists' movement since 1970, first in Los Angeles and subsequently in New York, where she was a founding member of the Heresies publishing collective.
