Top Ten Virtual Shows Across the UK and Ireland
From a critical reimagining of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window’ to a research project on the role of photography in the Irish civil rights movement, these are the best shows to stream.
As we near the anniversary of lockdown 1.0, there are lots of reasons to feel flat and unmotivated. Nobody knows when public spaces will open up again, nor the long-term effects of this trauma writ large on society. But art can assuage some of the frustrations we’re facing. A host of platforms across the UK and Ireland have devised virtual shows that speak to and guide us out of limbo. Highlights include 'Evolving Echoing Entities' at Jennifer Lauren Gallery, 'Rear Window' at White Cube, London Short Film Festival 2021, 'The Making of Husbands' at BALTIC (Virtual Exhibition produced by V21 Artspace), and 'It’s Not For You We Did It' by EVA International.
