During Four Hours, a presentation by The Nightclub, is the fourth of 12 events involving artists, producers and art students organizing curated exhibitions showcased in  one-night venues. The latest featuring curator José Antonio Navarrete and artist Marcos Valella, are focused on "video-films regarding the three previous exhibitions presented at The Nightclub series, and one projection in real time on the night of exhibition."

The first three exhibitions of The Nightclub were filmed for inclusion in this event by aiming a camera on a fixed point without interruptions for four continuous hours.  The films will be shown in that fashion, without  editing, while a fourth projection registers the exhibition in progress. According to The Nightclub, these fragments are disposed to interact according to a particular understanding of the montage constructive principle" in an exhibition that "explores the limits between a work of art and a documentary record, between artistic positioning and curatorial action." The event runs 7-11 p.m. July 6.
