Flere økonomer og teoretikere hevder at kapitalismens siste time er nær. Den digitale revolusjonen, tilgangen på informasjon og den voksende delingsøkonomien påvirker livene og verdiene våre. Også vårt forhold til kunst. Uansett om man kaller det post-kapitalisme eller ikke, er det ingen tvil om at kulturen og økonomien gjennomgår store endringer. Hva betyr det for synet på kunsten og dens potensial? Kan de økonomiske og kulturelle endingene skape et nytt grunnlag for hvordan vi involverer oss med og verdsetter kunst? Kan kunsten påvirke samfunnet, og bane vei for alternative erfaringer og verdier?
I forbindelse med Post Capitalistic Auction av Jingyi Wang i samarbeid med Idun Vik inviteres det til et seminar om “Post Capitalistic Values". Før seminaret inviteres publikum til en visning av kunstverkene som skal auksjoneres bort fredag 16.mars.
Arrangementet inkluderer også lanseringen av en katalog med presentasjon av kunstnerne og verkene som skal auksjoneres bort, samt en artikkelserie om kunst og verdi av Knut Ove Arntzen, Dave Beech, Andrea Phillips, Jose Maria Duran, Jacob Hjortsberg, Erlend Hammer, Paul Mason og Jenn Webb.
