Corrado Morgana, Senior Lecturer in Computer Games Design, artist and video game hacker, will be showing ‘Not Playing’. Made within flight simulator DCS Black Shark by Eagle Dynamics, Corrado is one of an increasing number of artists who demonstrate gaming’s independent and critical scene, challenging notions of play. Private view Wednesday 29 September 6-8pm, 16 Hewett Street, London UK EC2A 3NN.
In association with Neville
Brody’s ADF (Anti Design Festival), PayneShurvell is proud to present 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. In a bold
programme of shows and using whatever means necessary, 4by4 will give artists a chance to take new risks and show
work which might not ordinarily get exposure. In keeping with the
principles of Brody’s ADF, 4by4 will show
work that is challenging and experimental and questions current thinking
and assumptions.
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.
