Money has been a part of our global society for over 3,000 years. What started as a barter system became standardized through the medium of currency, whose function is the indirect trading of wealth. Money (or currency), at its most basic function, is the mechanism which facilitates the process of trade.
Historically, the first coin ever minted featured a roaring lion. The first known currency was created by King Alyattes in Lydia (now Turkey) in 600BC. Whether it be glass beads, clay tokens, cowrie shells, paper bills or metal shekels, currency worldwide has sought to standardize the process of monetary exchange for societies.
Inherent in this system is the symbolism, design and value of money in these societies. “Exchange Rate” seeks to investigate the role of currency in society and how the design and imagery of money reflects the cultural values of the society it serves.
Artists are asked to consider the following:
-
Are these cultural values expressed in the design of currency real, ideal or fabricated?
-
How do world powers leverage and promote the influence of their national currency on the international market?
-
What is a “gold standard”?
-
What are the factors that value the yen over the pound over the dollar?
-
How will digital currency exchanges (PayPal, Square, BitCoin, Venmo) change money?
-
How does counterfeiting impact the technical design and production of currency?
-
What are the most intriguing currencies in history?
-
And, NFT’s…
The Community Gallery promotes and exhibits the work of New Mexico artists and artisans, with emphasis on Santa Fe, through exhibitions, professional training and community involvement in the arts.
