GOLDIN+SENNEBY
I dispense, divide, assign, keep, hold
13 May — 12 August 2012
With Pamela Carter (playwright), Ismail Ertürk (senior lecturer in banking and finance), Anna Heymowska (set designer), Hamadi Khemiri (actor)
From May 13 through July 8, 2012 the NAK. Neuer Aachener Kunstverein is hosting the exhibition I dispense, divide, assign, keep, hold by the Swedish artists Goldin+Senneby, (founded in 2004).
Through performative and theatric means, Goldin+Senneby approach the abstract, virtual and often self-referential aspects of the world of finances. Their artistic research is rooted in a trans-disciplinary, cross-linking and collaborative framework of specialized actors from economic, financial and theatre backgrounds. Projects are often long-term and evolve over several years in different stages at various art institutions. Recent solo exhibitions by Goldin+Senneby have been presented at CAC, Vilnius (Standard Length of a Miracle, 2011) as well as Konsthall C, Stockholm (The Nordenskiöld Model: Act 1, 2010), and at Kadist Art Foundation, Paris (The Decapitation of Money, 2010).
I dispense, divide, assign, keep, hold constitutes another stage in the most recent series of projects, The Nordenskiöld Model, an experiment in theatrical finance, articulated as a series of free-standing public rehearsals. The NAK will host a scene developed by the artists in collaboration with cultural economist and former banker Ismail Ertürk attempting to imagine a future numismatics of a Credit Default Swap (CDS). Numismatics being the study and collecting of coins and currency, Ertürk uses the current financial situation of Greece to trace the material remains of present day financial instruments. The Kunstverein itself becomes a stage for this imagined numismatic collection.
Goldin+Senneby: I dispense, divide, assign, keep, hold is part of the Parallel Events program of Manifesta 9 taking place in Genk, Belgium.
The exhibition is supported by the Arts Foundation NRW, IASPIS The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, and the city of Aachen.
