and Materials and Money and Crisis is a group exhibition that serves as an experimental proposition toward addressing the matter of capital as it exists in the artwork. Curated by New York-based curator Richard Birkett in dialogue with artist Sam Lewitt, the exhibition brings together the work of eleven artists, including new commissions and existing artworks reconstituted for mumok. Two different meanings of matter underlie the proposition put forward in the show. On the one hand, flows of material and money and the crisis inducing disruption of those flows can serve as subject matter for artworks. On the other hand, on a deeper level, the exhibition asks how the physical matter from which artworks are made relates to the dissociation of capital from production as realized in a financialized global economy.weiterlesen
