Team Gallery's 'Golden Eggs' Exhibition Critiques Capitalism Through 10 Artists' Works

From June 23 to August 5, 2016, 'Golden Eggs,' a group exhibition curated by Alissa Bennett, was showcased at Team Gallery in New York, featuring the works of 10 artists. Coinciding with the UK’s Brexit referendum, the exhibition examined economic structures and events in the art market, such as Art Basel. Gardar Eide Einarsson's piece, 'The Next Recession and Where to Hide' (2016), illustrated a market downturn, while Hans Haacke's 'The Invisible Hand of The Market' (2009) drew on Adam Smith's economic theories. Alex Bag's 'Coven Services' (2004) critiqued the intersections of military, capital, and entertainment. Text-driven works by Barbara Kruger, Jessica Diamond, and Bjarne Melgaard explored socioeconomic disparities, emphasizing contradictions within art market dynamics and wealth accumulation since 2007.
