Opening of the exhibition with screening:
Art Accounts Deutsche Bank (2013) by Carsten Lisecki
The installation *Too much money... *addresses the ambivalent relationship
between art and the market, pointing to the the problematics of
commodification, alienation and co-optation of creativity. The work by
Société Réaliste, which was produced espescially for the installation, A
Proposal for a *New Alphabetical Order Based on the Experanto Writing
System and Pegged on the Dollar Rates* (Digital print, 2014) is an
excellent comment on the ability of the market to create an order of
meaning, hinting also at the similarities between market and money. The
juxtaposition of this work with its object - with 4107 one-dollar-bills -
is suggestive as it is subtle. The relationship between the artwork and the
bills is multidirectional. Art creates money, both by representing it, but
also by creating value through the actual value of the artwork, but also
through the surplus value of art for other fields of economic activity.
Conversely, money creates art by providing the very means of artistic
production, but also by valorizing the artwork, effectively acknowledging
it as art. Money is of critical importance both for the arts and for
society at large, the only problem being that there is simultaneously not
enough and too much money.
*Artistic Bokeh is an initiative working with experimental documentation
and conceptual art practice. The Artistic Bokeh Showroom in MuseumsQuartier
Vienna acts as connecting space to interlink the network of artists,
researchers and theorists. Artistic Bokeh documents the works of the
project "Artistic Technology Research" of the University of Applied Arts,
Vienna.*
