THE ART OF MAKING MONEY

Performance at Cabaret Voltaire on 2.11.2011 with San Keller as San Keller ("The Artist"), Andreas Heusser as Investment Banker Rainer W. Kerner, Magdalena Kalbarczyk as secretary. Duration: 90 min.

 

A slick Economist lectures on the principles and mechanisms of "Art investment banking" (AIB), including the concept of value creation through destruction. Then, with the participation of the audience, he sells shares of future artworks by San Keller: the income from the sales is the base for the artworks yet to be produced by the artist. San Keller signs the banknotes, shredders them, puts the shreds into empty jars. The labeled and numbered jars are now auctioned as original art works of San Keller. All works are sold for prices which are double until four times higher than the original value of money.
