Refracted Sites was an online exhibition and performance presenting a selection of projects from the Critical Spatial Practice: Site-Writing module, part of Architectural History and Situated Practice MA programs at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.
The online platform presented these works, bringing them back together to be shared with an online community while asking questions of the meaning, place, reality, time, scale, and media for art in our Covid19 and post-Covid19 world. The works have refracted through time, within, between others, out of production, across language, and out of place. Each type of refraction formed one episode of the exhibition. The exhibition showed online works —moving-image, virtual stories, audio accounts, and digital sculptures— that negotiate the difficulties of positioning oneself creatively within a moment of crisis.
