Remote exhibition

Itinerary

The curatorial design of Remote aims to engage the viewer with different ways and means through which the network, broadly understood, functions in determining the increasingly dispersed contours of art and aesthetics. The exhibition form is called upon to provide the infrastructure that locates the viewer simultaneously at the juncture and disjunction of here and there, structuring an experience of being dispersed between informatic and physical space.

Remote addresses this by not restricted the exhibition to the confines of the Plimsoll Gallery. Instead, the exhibition environment is expanded to include artworks that are accessed and encountered in supplementary, annexed spaces. These spaces span both the ground and first-floor levels of the Centre for the Arts building. Supporting the idea of the exhibition as ‘itinerary’ means that the audience/visitor is encouraged to explore ‘other’ spaces, including ‘transit’ spaces such as the reception area (ground level) and foyer (level 1) and external environments such as the garden enclosure (ground level) and courtyard (level 1).
