4by4

In association with Neville Brody’s ADF (Anti Design Festival), PayneShurvell presents 4by4 throughout the month of September: four curators / four shows / four publications / four weeks. 4by4 will be a series of multi-faceted, short, sharp shocks including video, sound, readymades, text, performance, interventions, ceramics, crafts, publications and newsprint.

The ambitious month-long programme will be overseen by Neville Brody and co-ordinated by James Payne. The rapid succession of exhibitions will be challenging but are intended to give the artists freedom to experiment and to incorporate elements of serendipity and chance.

A free A3 ‘newsletter’, published by PayneShurvell, will accompany each show and will alternate between being purely informative and decorative; one week, a limited edition, another week something mass produced and throwaway. It provides a space for free exchange of ideas.

Each of the four shows will be launched on Wednesday evening and will run until Saturday of each week.

Dreams of Desire: Daisy Delaney 08/09-11/09

Private View Wednesday 8 September 6-8pm

For 4by4 Delaney will be working with an object so familiar, banal and everyday that we forget its existence—the till receipt. For her show, the receipt is a document generated as a by-product of a covert performance. The performance, in which the unidentified cashier is an unwitting participant, occurs inside an art galleries bookshop. A list of words is printed automatically on a till receipt which now contains hidden information.
