Site Visits features projects by over a dozen artists, architects and designers spanning two galleries. The exhibition includes a multidisciplinary range of photo and video documentation, installations, drawings, multiples, and mixed media constructions that have been inspired by, or created in direct response to architecture. The exhibition proposes that architecture be viewed not only as a built form, but as a cipher that can be used to examine a wide-range of pertinent issues; from social policy to the appropriation of public space, from icons of Modernism to sites of catastrophe, from the rise of global development to urban nomadism. Architecture forms the lens through which we can examine the urgency – and often the unease – that underlines contemporary culture.
