Imaginary Economics
Contemporary Artists and the World of Big Money: Fascinations ![Imaginary Economics<br> <br>Contemporary Artists and the World of Big Money: Fascinations]()
Edited by Olav Velthuis.
Description: A British artist who destroys all of his belongings, a Dutch artist's initiative that charts organization cultures, a Swiss artist who sells his right to participate in an exhibition via an online auction, an American artist who prints his own money and then succeeds in spending it . . . . This book examines the ways in which contemporary artists represent economic processes--no longer merely express their ideas about the market or subsidy systems through the media, but analyze and offer parodies of economic mechanisms in their work.
