::  Thursday 19th April - Tuesday 3rd May :: A4 by Four by Four & TenByEight :: A4 BY FOUR BY FOUR :: :OPENING NIGHT :: Thursday 19th April, 6pm
Four Photographers :: Four Prints :: A4 Size :: Fourteen Days
Curated in only four hours, this photographic show explores the idea of format. Four outstanding Adelaide photographers display four prints in only A4 sizing, exploring life in a limited frame. 

Featuring Meg Cowell, elle d.s., Stephanie Fuller and Genevieve Brandenburg, this whiplash show will only be for fourteen days.
:: TENBYEIGHT ::
Coinciding with 'A4 by four by four' is 'TenbyEight', a themed photographic exhibition by emerging local artist Vera Ada. Vera's black and white portraiture is highly distinctive and unique. Using a range of multiple effects such as double exposure, long shutter speeds and over-processing she uses film photography to is most expressionistic extent. Highly evocative and haunting, this secondary show promises to complement and inspire 'A4 by four by four' in a subtle mix of beautiful compositions and echoing emotion.
