We're not here to give you pleasure was an exhibition which took place on four occasions, not so much a travelling show as four seperate events which drew together a differing group of artists each time it occured. The project was initiated by Tom Dale and Charlie Jeffery, two british artists based in Poland and France respectively. Rraum02 in Frankfurt opened the series of shows in 2001 at the invitation of artists Peter Lütje and Haegue Yang. 2002 saw two further editions of the show, first at Protoacademy (a collective of young artists graduated from Edinburgh art school and set up by Charles Esche), in Edinburgh, and later at g39 in Cardiff (a contemporary art gallery for showcasing young emerging artists) at the invitation of Anthony Shapland and Christopher Brown. The shows last manifestation at the invitation of Nathalie Travers and Christophe Viart took place at Galerie art et essai in Rennes, France, in 2004.

This Archive is a kind of appendix to the exhibitions, you will find images of the shows and links to the artists and spaces where the show existed. Other links of interest will also be published here.
