Show Me The Money

7 Oct-22 Nov 2014

Overview

Show Me The Money asks what does 'the market' look like? What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? The exhibition charts how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. The exhibition includes an array of media: paintings, prints, photographs, videos, artefacts, and instruments of financial exchange both 'real' and imagined. Indeed the exhibition also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts, and electronic trading systems.
