'Global Networks': Webs Connecting the Power Brokers, the Money and the World
by Jeremy at 11:09 pm EST, Nov 15, 2003

Mark Lombardi was onto something ... His drawings - you could call them maps or charts, and they also have some connection with 19th-century panoramas - track global financial fiascos and related political shenanigans, mostly of the 1980's and 90's.

Some drawings are as much as 10 feet wide, rather lightly marked in pencil with arrows and names: delicate spider webs of scandal.

Lombardi's work has been called "conspiracy art". It's a kind of global MemeStreams, elegantly visualized with a purpose, as Art.

(Unfortunately, it appears impossible to obtain large prints of these drawings (some of which are absolutely fascinating). There is a book available, but the only poster/print I've found was in "Cabinet Magazine" in 2001. They've sold out of back issues and want $250 for a copy. I can buy the originals at pierogi2000.com, but I'm not Bill Gates.)

There is a redundant post from BridgetAG not displayed in this view.
