'Sight Regained' takes its place within and against the traditions of visual modernism that have fetishised sight as tbe optic of quality and site as tbe locus of selfreference. It brokers an opposition to tbe old aesthetic in which sight is cut off from everday strategies of common knowledge, and place is made over in tbe image of an iterated Utopian Formula. In paying homage to the creation of new sights/sites we have before us so many celebrations of new becomings in vision. Accordingly this exhibition is preoccupied with the specificty of sight, yet it looks equally on to the the site-specific. It is formed around tbe exchanges and processes of looking (again).
