Kunstarkaden is located in Sparkassenstraße, which was named after the Sparkasse building in 1907. The street used to be a small canal, which carried small goods and rubbish around the city. Nowadays, it's surrounded by luxury shops, tourist center and banks. Five Munich-based artists would like to propose an artistic intervention, which reflects the past, present and future of money. Recreated countless times through the history, money has taken forms of shell, stone, feather, paper, metal, even cigarettes, yet the inherent value has never relied on material reality. Instead, it's a psychological construct, a mutual trust system and collective imagination. Through video, painting, sculpture, and installation, different perspectives will traverse the theme of value, (im)materiality, narrative contagion, labor, fraud, and especially the belief system of our society, which binds them all together.
