Spatial Relations (December 2010)










Spatial Relations was a programme of video screenings and installations at Centrum and nearby offsite spaces on 11th December. The sreenings, which were shown as part of a walking tour, covered nine international artist’s works that presented different approaches to observing the city: the connection between the body and architecture; rewriting roles and possible actions in the city and new angles on familiar territory. The videos, which were shot in Belfast, Berlin, Sao Paulo and Tel Aviv, were made by artists:
