Description:
LIC, Queens- CContemporary public art organization No Longer Empty will launch their 14th site-specific exhibition “How Much Do I Owe You?” on December 12, 2012. Opening from 7-9pm.
For the first time in thirty years, the iconic Bank of Manhattan Building will open its doors, vaults and clock tower to host an exhibition on social, cultural and financial exchange.
As the title implies, “How Much Do I Owe You?” is a personal and conversational exploration into the new iterations of currency, value and exchange at this time of financial anxiety, growing debt and job insecurity. From the virtualization of money to the rise of non-monetary barter networks, recent years have seen a re-thinking of forms and systems of exchange, and thus notions of value, commodity, and debt that surround them. Inspired by the Bank building and the surrounding neighborhood, 25 artists from 15 countries confront these issues and how they are negotiated in the workforce, housing market, and in the every day. The public will experience a variety of media, from sound installations, projections, and film to participatory projects, immersive installations and large scale sculptures. Over the course of three months, the bank will be a hub art and events, with 15 educational programs, 25 cultural events, 10 community collaborations. Complete program information will be posted on website in mid-November.
Opening hours: Thursday-Monday, 1-7pm through March 13
