Show Me The Money

14 Jun-30 Aug 2014

Overview

Show Me The Money asks what does ‘the market’ look like? 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. It asks how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money and finance, from the South Sea Bubble of the eighteenth century to the global financial crisis of 2008. It features works ranging from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to newly commissioned works by artists Cornford & Cross, Immo Klink, Simon Roberts, and James O Jenkins, as well as UK premieres of works by Molly Crabapple, Goldin + Senneby & Wolfgang Weileder.
