The Crash
17 december 2016 t/m 12 februari 2017
"What it means when our financial system collapses, we experienced that worldwide in 2008. Since then, more and more thought has been given to banks, economics and financial power. Artists too. The group exhibition The Crash is the fourth part of the What exhibition program. Next - picture tomorrow. The internationally renowned artists Oliver Ressler (AT), Danilo Correale (IT), artist collective SUPERFLEX (Dk), James Beckett (ZW) and designer Richard Sluijs (NL) sharpen our view on the financial world, the economic crisis and the future. " Oliver Ressler, Danilo Correale, SUPERFLEX, James Beckett and Richard Sluijs
"Artist and activist Oliver Ressler has been working on themes such as globalization, democracy and the anti-capitalist movement for years. He knows how to process his visions of the future in large text works and films in an imaginative way. Danilo Correale and James Beckett focus more on the individuals who hold power in the political and banking world. What kind of people are these? And above all: how do they treat our society now and in the future? The Danish SUPERFLEX looks at the economic crisis from a therapeutic angle. This produces a hilarious and at the same time disturbing video work The Financial Crisis. Unlike the visual artists, designer Richard Sluijs does not examine the system and the people behind the system. With his The Complete Lexicon of Crisis Related Suicides 2008 to 2013, Volume 1 concentrates he focuses entirely on the direct victims of the economic crisis. "
