DAS KAPITAL: a show about currency in a bank that no longer exists. In today's smartphone-mediated world, the bricks and mortar of a bank and the cool white lights of the gallery and museum can now simply slide into your pocket. This presentation of film, video art, and new media within a physical space characterised by decay and transition draws our attention to mediums affiliated with the 'immaterial' in order to question the value of cultural capital. The show's title took some of its inspiration from Joseph Beuys' Das Kapital (1970 - 1977) in conjunction with ideas of 'cultural erasure' that are particularly pertinent to Australia in 2023.
This project takes place on the traditional Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the East Kulin Nations and we pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
