The exhibition The Geopolitics of Infrastructure brings together a generation of artists who consider the political commitments, imagination and power relations of infrastructure. It presents research-based practices reflecting on how such structures function as organisational systems across boundaries as part of the practice of statecraft. With an awareness that geopolitics also shapes the conditions of practice for artists, The Geopolitics of Infrastructure also considers the possibilities of artistic imagination in conceptualising alternative models for infrastructure.
