Money Machines

MONEY MACHINES - A wandering Sleep Installation and Performance (September 2022)

Mayer Pavilion and I invited artist guests to witness a performance by Katja Tannert and Martin Wagner in the attempt of washing the creative act and money from its uncertain past (and future).

“Money Machines” was the opening event of "Art in Residence", an experimental art project by Susan Buckow exploring the relations between creatives, money and gentrification. Art in Residence is genorously funded by the "Innovative Art Projects" Program by BBK Bundesverband Bildender Künstler.
