FOUR-D Projects presents ISSUE TWO: Devotional, an interdisciplinary exhibition and

performance night. The second in a series of shows that seek to string together the written, the

visual, and the performative, ISSUE TWO: Devotional begins with of a preliminary half-hour

reading—during which the audience is asked to engage with a series of writings about each

artwork they are about to see—followed by a performative interpretation of the works, and finally

the visual works themselves.

In the current political and social climate, sometimes it seems as if everything is slipping away.

This exhibition is comprised of 30 responses to the questions What are you holding on to?

What’s holding on to you? From dance to film to sculpture, the artists in this exhibition use their

chosen form to express feelings of longing and trauma. A bisected airplane reveals passengers

bored by the constancy of their movement, forgetting that they are suspended in the sky. A

woman struggles up a ladder bearing a heavy bundle of rice, which hits the ground only to be

gathered again. Small acetate boxes full of sand are symbolic trophies of a captured multitude.

Founded by Grace Caiazza and Lizzy Chiappini, FOUR-D is a curatorial project that

aspires to create immersive and interactive experiences for viewing artwork outside of the

traditional structures of exhibition practice and institutional environments.
