Garage Museum of Contemporary Art - A Matter of Trust

A Matter of Trust Dear friends, it would be great to see you in Moscow for my lecture-performance at Garage Museum of Contemporary Art on Wednesday the 30th of August 2017. Garage MCA Auditorium 19:30–21:00 --   A Matter of Trust lecture performance is a non-partisan low formality presentation of an alternative currency collection of the same name. Through this lecture-performance Noronha Feio speaks, comments, criticizes, and tells the story/history and strategies behind currencies as diverse as the socialist thinker Robert Owens' 1830s National Labour Exchange time-based banknotes; the wild capitalism present in Russia's MMM ponzi scheme; Cildo Meireles 0 Dollar notes; WW I transitional emergency Notgelds; and artist Fran Illich's Spacebank, amongst several others. In A Matter of Trust, the artist's objective is to lure the spectator into a world of possibilities and strategies present in everyday exchanges, which are, importantly, available to anyone willing.
