Art/ Value/ Currency explores the intertwining roles of trade, value systems and networking within the art world, highlighting the importance of creating exposure for artists and their working practice.
The project has 3 stages:
Part One: The 31 works are exhibited at The Pigeon Wing, together with an open discussion of the project and the works involved.
Part Two: The collection will be taken to New York where Shirley will visit local artists, galleries, curators and collectors to showcase this collection of British art. During these meetings the works will be offered in exchange for another artwork of the same uniform size to take its place. These meetings and exchanges will be documented through the Art/ Value/ Currency’s online space hosted by The Bunker Gallery.
Part Three: Once all the artworks have been exchanged for new work, the collection will return to London and be re-exhibited at The Pigeon Wing. These new works will then be given to the original set of artists to complete the swap.
