Refrain is repeatable lines intervening within a song or a poem, which makes an image rather then telling a subject directly. However, the repetition is not delivering pleasure or supporting a main content, but reveals the most political purpose artistically. For example, chorus in the Greek tragedy didn't writer's intention, but satirized subscription or spoke for the audience. Like this, the theme of the exhibition brings up the function of refrain.
