Julien Bismuth Presents 'Exonumia' Exhibition at Layr Gallery in Vienna

Julien Bismuth's exhibition 'Exonumia' is on view at Layr in Vienna until April 11, 2026. The presentation features silkscreen prints, drawings, videos, and a sculptural object. Works include prints depicting exonumia—non-currency coin-like objects—such as Hard Times tokens from the 1830s U.S., created during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Drawings reinterpret historical artworks, including the first depiction of a Brazilian rainforest from the Louvre's collection. Videos recontextualize earlier protest art and pair Brazilian footage with Darwinian text. The exhibition explores themes of meaning, boundaries, and value through varied media without a single unifying subject.
