The Spiritual Exercises took place in the spring of 2020, during the first UK lockdown, when in response to an open call 100 artists produced work in isolation. The resulting exhibition connected these artists with a wide online audience.

Now we find ourselves dealing with an ongoing crisis, and the need to find new ways of working together. This is a challenge but also an opportunity — after all, we were facing a crisis before Covid.

The Spiritual Exercises 2 invited artists involved in the original project to connect with one other over the course of the second extended lockdown, with their online exhibition opening on Monday 29 March (the end of the stay at home order in England).
