The exhibition, Sightlines, sees our team position artworks in small, conversational groupings. When not installed at A4, these reside in our archive – a research environment for curators, arts workers, and practitioners who may wish to revisit past work. Sightlines shares viewpoints from this archive with visitors. What stories might these artworks tell while standing together?

In preparation for this project, we printed a deck of cards, with each card representing a work. Multiple discrete objects, given this uniform ‘frame’, could be played alongside one another. With everything pictured at once, connections became visible, uninhibited by geographical distance or pre-conceived hierarchies. This is a 'Sightline' – a passage to thought that emerges across the chatter of like and unlike things in the room. Sets of artworks constellate along an axis and come into focus. Our approach has been to edit and refine curious lines of sight, installing select artworks in the gallery with cards remaining as stand-ins for others.
