Drachma – Speculation on Symbolic Value

Drachma is a research initiative, involving artists and theorists across disciplines, with an interest in the Greek economic reality and the Greek currency as a manifestation of this reality. We are investigating the Drachma as a symbol of economic value, national identity and political power, as they are expressed historically in the imagery of the currency. The iconographic and the symbolic representations of the Drachma, in the concrete syntactic context of notes and coins, provide a specific frame of reference to our analysis of Greece today. Our methodology includes archival research, art, economic theory, political design, psychoanalysis … Our production will culminate into a symposium, an exhibition, and a publication.

Drachma – Speculation on Symbolic Value

Drachma ist ein Forschungsprojekt von KünstlerInnen und TheoretikerInnen verschiedener Disziplinen mit einem Interesse an der griechischen ökonomischen Realität und der griechischen Währung als Manifestation dieser Realität. Wir untersuchen die Drachme als ein Symbol wirtschaftlichen Werts, nationaler Identität und politischer Macht und wie dies historisch in der Graphik der Währung ausgedrückt wird.
Die ikonographischen und die symbolischen Repräsentationen der Drachme, im konkreten syntaktischen Kontext der Noten und Münzen, bietet einen spezifischen Referenzrahmen für unsere Analyse des heutigen Griechenland. Unsere Methodologie beinhaltet Archivarbeit, Kunst, Wirtschaftstheorie, politisches Design, Psychoanalyse… Unsere Produktion kulminiert in einem Symposium, einer Ausstellung und einer Publikation.
