Money and Its Contradictions: 9 Artists at Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice

Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice presents a group exhibition exploring the intricate relationship between money, value, and speculation, featuring works by nine artists. Antoni Muntadas examines material and immaterial residues of currency transitions, while Ryts Monet analyzes banknote iconography as political self-representation. Nanni Balestrini reworks Giorgione's 'La Tempesta' through fragmentation to activate ongoing meaning. Francesco Jodice and Andrea Mastrovito address the rise and decline of capitalist values. Fabio Mauri and Lucio Pozzi create works whose prices increase daily, confronting the incongruity between price and value. Aldo Runfola uses coins thrown onto a surface to determine the artwork's appearance. Cesare Pietroiusti's 'Eating Money – An Auction' involves ingesting banknotes and returning them to the buyer after evacuation, subverting the relationship between money and commodity. The show runs at Galleria Michela Rizzo in Venice.
