Today we went to the Show me the money exhibition based in Manchester. "This exhibition asks: what does ‘the market’ look like? What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? Who is finance for? The exhibition charts how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. "
The exhibition portrays money in a contextual manner showing money within the last three centuries. The exhibition showcased an array of mediums from Paintings, photography, video and instruments of foreign exchange. Through out the exhibition the majority of the money is based about politics and how money breaks the social and and class boundaries. Money is the route to powers and a lot fo the propaganda posters in the exhibition demonstrates this point.
