The Exhibition

Fifteen is The Bartlett's annual winter exhibition of student work. The 2021-2022 graduates of Design for Manufacture MArch, Design for Performance & Interaction MArch and Situated Practice MA will exhibit their work to industry, academics and the general public, showcasing fifteen months of studying, development and experimentation. Returning to campus for the first time since the start of the pandemic, the show will run in a hybrid format. A physical show will take place at our Bloomsbury home with an accompanying programme of public events at Here East and a parallel digital show on our award-winning virtual exhibition platform.

Our graduating Design for Manufacture students are a new generation of pioneering designer-makers whose work is created with the making process at its centre. They have used disruptive new tactics, guiding their ideas from concept to completion in great detail, achieving higher levels of design evolution.

Alongside them, Design for Performance & Interaction students have explored the intersections of performance and spatial design, the arts and technology, the physical and the virtual. Their collaborative, 'anti-disciplinary' projects challenge the conventions of performance, and consider objects, space, people and systems as potential performers.

Working across and between the boundaries of art and architecture, Situated Practice students have studied critical theories and concepts of place and situation to produce their own situated practices in a range of media. They have engaged with a plethora of places and publics, collaborating with their local communities in London and critically commenting on wider social, cultural and geopolitical discourses.
