"This website, curated by Jane Rendell, presents the work of multiple critical spatial practitioners. Rendell first introduced the concept of ‘critical spatial practice’ in 2003 as a way of describing projects located between art and architecture, that both critique the sites into which they intervene, as well as the disciplinary procedures through which they operate. In Art and Architecture (2006), Rendell argued that such projects operate at a triple crossroads: between theory and practice, between public and private, and between art and architecture, and stressed three particular qualities of such works: the critical, the spatial and the interdisciplinary. Since then, other practitioners and theorists have been evolving the term in different directions. For example, there was the reading group and blogspot in the early 2000s, which came out of discussions around Nicholas Brown’s artistic walking practice; in 2011, Nikolaus Hirsch and Marcus Miessen started a Sternberg Press series called Critical Spatial Practice which focused on architecture; and in 2012, Rendell published ‘Critical Spatial Practices: Setting Out a Feminist Approach to some Modes and what Matters in Architecture’, Lori Brown (ed) Feminist Practices (London: Ashgate, 2012), in which she suggested five ways in which critical spatial practice could be feminist."
