About Future Perfect: New Byelaws For Civic Spaces

Listed Under Exhibitions Events / Outdoor Events

CO-PRESENTED WITH RENFREWSHIRE LEISURE
ACTION HERO / MIA + ERIC (England/Canada)

A hopeful, positive act of re-configuration, where byelaws that regulate behaviours in civic spaces — in this case Paisley’s “Rules for the Management of Public Parks” — are cut up word-by-word and meticulously rearranged into a new set of rules for a transitioning world.

From this new poetic script, selected phrases are enlarged and re-inserted back into the architecture of the cityscape on hoardings and giant billboards, acting as playful instructions, permissions or manifestos; a collection of imagined alternative behaviours unfolding throughout the city.

You are invited to help with reconstructing Paisley’s new Future Perfect byelaws! Visit our interactive website (launched early May) to submit your own new rule, using cut-up words from the original text. Then look out for Paisley’s new byelaws as they appear around town.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.

All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
