Currency Exchange
27.01.– 24.02.2024
Opening on Friday, 26.01.24, 17:00–21:00
BPA// Raum presents Currency Exchange, a group exhibition initiated by BPA// participant Zhiyuan Yang. Each artist was invited to create an artwork with (or about) a banknote.
Through (de/re)valuations of money, Currency Exchange sheds light on currency as an integral part of national identity and statehood, on value systems, economic policies, exchange rates and the physical existence of banknotes, rendered both as obsolete, and as collectible items.
After the exhibition, each artist will receive another artist’s work as a form of trade: a gesture of equal exchange beyond art market or material value.
Participanting artists: Jan Berger, Johannes Büttner, Grayson Earle, Will Fredo, Sarah Friend, Amauta Garcia & David Camargo, Heyon Han, Andrea Felizitas Karch, Johanna Klingler, Simone Miné Koza, Hamlet Lavastida, Ida Lawrence, Maness, Arash Nassiri, Natis, Josefine Reisch, Xavier Robles de Medina, Anna-Lisa Scherfose, Tian Guoxin, Zhiyuan Yang, Hana Yoo, Jasmin Werner
