“Daisy Delaney works in a way that forces us to reconsider everyday actions and their underlying meaning, which is engaging and sometimes comical. Displacing art and commodity, her work reveals the banality of consumerism and the gallery world” – Neville Brody
In her solo show Daisy explores the receipt, not as a readymade, but as a piece of work that has been finely assembled and carefully manufactured with materials specific to each piece. This work is not about elements of chance, and there are no ‘happy accidents’. The receipts are as much about construction as they are themselves constructs.
So the message comes to represent our desires: it is the fleeting trace of an act destined to become a memory, the ephemera of a long gone performance that will perhaps, one day, exist only as Daisy’s Dream.
Daisy’s two Liverpool Biennial cars, modified in the style of imported illegal street-racers, take up residence outside the gallery for the duration of the show. They continue the history of art cars, which probably started in 1971, with the production of the Martini Racing Porsche ‘Hippie’ which came second in the legendary endurance motor race, the Le Mans 24hrs. In 1975, the artist Alexander Calder designed the livery of the first car of the BMW Art Car Project, which continues to this day, and includes cars designed by Andy Warhol and Jenny Holzer among others.
