Synopsis

Mediums of Exchange is a two-part exhibition and the first collaboration between two of the largest exhibition spaces in the City University of New York’s network of galleries. For centuries artists depicted the acquiring of money as a morality tale –the source of many evils as well as a desirable goal. ln the decade since the financial meltdown of 2008, artists work to transform an uncertain economy into artworks of visual significance. "Mediums of Exchange" presents more than 30 contemporary artists who appropriate and contextualize money, using currency as a material in their work, or taking a conceptual approach to the global economic system. Exploring the ever changing forms and uses of currency, they engage in sociological, psychological, and economic approaches that raise new questions about the role of money in today’s global societies.
