The Beatles 1967 hit A Day in The Life used innovative production techniques to produce a complex musical arrangement resulting in a cacophonous, partially improvised orchestral crescendo. The ensemble, which combines two lyrical parts was written independently by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. A Day In the Life was subsequently spliced together creating one of the twentieth century’s most ambitious and well-known songs.
Silent Debate - an art project in two parts – took place over one week. At the beginning of the project artists were invited to contribute works to an exhibition space as and how they saw fit. The artworks and exhibition were arranged independently of curators. As the week progressed artists and curators collectively discussed the artworks, possible links between them and appropriate spaces in which they could be shown.
As a result of this process, Silent Debate Part 2: A Day In The Life was born. This exhibition introduces the 12 artists works, edited and re-ordered, each one now part of a sequence relating to that which goes before and after it. As such it intends to create a dreamlike state for the viewer, where the narrative of the exhibition naturally yet unpredictably develops, similar in effect to the musical reverie created collaboratively by Lennon and McCartney in 1967.
By re-arranging the works according to their form and meaning and relative to each contributing artist’s particular practice, the curators present their visual proposition to the Silent Debate: A Day In The Life.
