[spectre] Art and the Market

[Lanfranco Aceti]

Dear Colleagues,

This year opens with two major international exhibitions and a series
of art events by Bill Balaskas. The link below provides further
information on the exhibitions and events.

The Market Will Save The World at Kasa Gallery opens January 25, 2013
with a cocktail reception at 18:00 and runs through March 8, 2013.

The Vision of the Market at the Museum of Contemporary Cuts January 25
to March 8, 2013

Is it possible to understand what is the image that the Market has of
the world? And what is the image that we consume every day? What is
the image that the Market portrays of itself, the world, and us?

Kasa Gallery and the Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC) present The
Market Will Save The World and The Vision of the Market by
London-based Greek artist Bill Balaskas.

The Market Will Save the World will present a survey of Balaskas’
practice that spans from the analysis of the economic crisis in Greece
to the artist’s latest work, Monopoly (2013), a site-specific
installation for Kasa Gallery. The exhibition follows Bill Balaskas’
intervention on the facade of the Royal College of Art in London.

The Vision of the Market will present images, video, or text by the
artist every day on MoCC’s twitter and Facebook from January 25 to
March 8, 2013. The images will then be collated and archived online.

We thank for their gracious support: Sabanci University, the Royal
College of Art and Kalfayan Galleries (Athens – Thessaloniki).
