Essay "The Currency of Contemporary Art" published by Sternberg Press


Our essay “The Currency of Contemporary Art” will be published by Sternberg Press for the book Between the Material and the Possible: Infrastructural Re-examination and Speculation in Art edited by Bassam El Baroni. From questions around space settlements to the possibility of repurposing blockchain infrastructures and financial instruments for redistributive purposes, and from the diagrammatic potential of infrastructural thinking in artistic practices to scenario planning and economic strategizing, this collection of essays brings together critical analysis from a broad group of contributors engaged in the revisioning of our infrastructural futures. Their interrogations span local and global relationalities, historical and political legacies, as well as future-oriented infrastructural hypotheses.
