The Map Is Not The Territory

Saturday, May 9th, 2026 3-4PM

44 Troy Street, Fall River, MA

FR MoCA presents an artist talk with Joel Dean and Viktor Timofeev in conjunction with CITADEL, curated by Cory John Scozzari of Cordova

Starting with how we collectively come to understand “the map is not the territory” as a loose point of departure, the conversation will move through language, maps, games, performance, alphabet systems, early works, side jobs, and the strange ways artists build systems for navigating place.

The talk will consider how artists use language, how language renders place, and how maps, diagrams, and invented systems become part of an art practice.

The event will begin with a short introduction to CITADEL, followed by a conversation with the artists and an open structure for images, materials, and discussion.
