Daybed begins with a piece of furniture. At home, graphic designer Julie Peeters uses a daybed as a surface on which to lay out documents and printed matter, to sit on, and to gather around the spread-out material. She takes this working method as the starting point for a recurring format that can continually change its form and function. At the Kunstverein München, the daybed becomes a modular structure: combined into a wide surface, or divided into platforms for exhibitions, performances, screenings, readings and conversations. Its configuration changes depending on what is to take place on it – the structure follows the respective purpose of the presentation.
The first edition of Daybed follows George Tourkovasilis: Strange Switch. Spent.
