Full view of eight weathered maps from New York Arrival Edition of
Route Guides / LATINO/A AMERICA Series, Queens Museum of Art, 2006


Premise of this version: In the fall of 2003, the artist gave 40 of these maps
titled Road Maps (#1: Arrival New York), 2003/2006 to 20 individuals he
knew would cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Each person received two maps,
one for them to keep, and one for them to mail back to the artist upon arrival
at their final destination in New York City. The artist has since received 8 maps
in return that show various degrees of exposure to weather as well as wear
and tear.
