Julia Moore, Nicholas Morgan, Matthew Rowe, Chris Smith

To mark the launch of a new collaborative text-based digital provocation developed by Moore, Morgan, Rowe and Smith, we are showing a selection of objects, sounds and images documenting and describing the games and thought processes that parented the work. The artwork around which the show revolves, "A PDF of Why Art Has a History", is a dematerialised and intersubjective exploration of internally-disputatious text as fine art. The PDF has been developed from a four day participatory art event in 2006 ("...an extraordinarily rich affect from an equally extraordinary economy of means....one of the best things I have seen (and modestly, can claim to have worked upon) for a long time..." Dr. Mary Anne Francis, Chelsea College of Art and Design). It will be available as a download only from the gallery website from 7pm on Thursday 5 July for the duration of the show only, in a counter-intuitive ploy to limit the edition size of an inherently infinitely reproducible work.

As part of our participation in First Thursdays the show will be open until 9pm on Thursday 5 July to include a reception for the launch of the PDF itself at 7pm. The artists will be present to introduce the work and to answer questions. Moore, Morgan, Rowe and Smith have shown work in a number of group and solo exhibitions in London, both together and separately, including spaces such as the Whitechapel Art Gallery, the ICA and London's Guildhall.
