Spatial Media, Inhabitations and Relocations

16th—26th May 2024

The Winchester Gallery

In 1994, the Marxist geographer Doreen Massey argued in Space, Place and Gender that communication via electronic mail and fax resulted in a ‘compression’ of space and time, and altered the experience of local space. Thirty years after Massey’s publication, the exhibition ‘Spatial Media, Inhabitations and Relocations’ asks to what extent new forms of technology and media rearticulate the meaning and the political stakes of the ideas of ‘space’ in the era of geopolitical unrest, increased precarity and climate catastrophe. The exhibition is an exploration of critical media practices to interrogate how different media approaches trouble the production and experience of space as it is inscribed with socio-political meaning. The exhibition comprises of creative group projects produced by MA Global Media Management students at Winchester Gallery.
