Picturing Finance Exhibition Visual Imagination

项目摘要

As the Financial Services Authority's Turner Review (2009) of the current global financial crisis insisted, "Intellectual challenge to conventional wisdoms [that the market is 'efficient, rational, and self correcting'] is essential." Likewise the recent annual report of Chartered Financial Analyst Society of the UK warned that a lack of historical knowledge among institutional investors was a factor behind the current crisis (see Mundy 2011). The aim of this project is to make the insights of the New History of Capitalism available to a wider audience through the creation of a public exhibition at the Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art (Sunderland) and accompanying catalogue and website on visual representations of Anglo-American financial capitalism over the last three centuries; together with an accompanying seminar that will bring together artists, writers, journalists and key figures from the financial and regulatory sectors; and an educational outreach programme for school children. By emphasising how finance has been imagined and represented in different historical moments and cultures - and indeed, by drawing attention to the very difficulty of picturing "the market" as a whole - this exhibition is designed to stimulate public debate about how a particular myth of the rational market came to be naturalised and how seemingly impenetrable complexities of finance have repeatedly mesmerised the public at different historical moments. The visual representation of financial capitalism is an underexplored research area in its own right, but an exhibition on this theme provides an exciting opportunity to engage the wider public and the media with the central intellectual concerns of the New History of Capitalism, at a time when the British public is all too painfully aware of the terrifying power of high finance. This would be the first exhibition to provide a broad historical overview of the visual imagination of finance. It thus constitutes both an important research achievement in its own right as well as an innovative way of making accessible to the public the idea that markets are not governed by immutable economic laws but are culturally and historically constructed.

正如金融服务管理局对当前全球金融危机的《特纳评论》（2009 年）所坚持的那样，“对传统观点（市场是‘高效、理性和自我修正的’）提出智力挑战至关重要。”同样，英国特许金融分析师协会最近的年度报告警告说，机构投资者缺乏历史知识是当前危机背后的一个因素（见 Mundy 2011）。该项目的目的是通过在北方当代艺术画廊（桑德兰）举办公共展览，并附上有关过去三个世纪英美金融资本主义视觉表现的目录和网站，向更广泛的观众提供对资本主义新历史的见解；同期举办的研讨会将汇集艺术家、作家、记者以及金融和监管部门的关键人物；以及针对学童的教育外展计划。通过强调金融在不同的历史时刻和文化中是如何被想象和呈现的——事实上，通过提请人们注意将“市场”作为一个整体来描绘的难度——本次展览旨在激发公众辩论，讨论理性市场的特定神话是如何自然化的，以及看似难以理解的金融复杂性如何在不同的历史时刻反复让公众着迷。金融资本主义的视觉表现本身就是一个尚未得到充分探索的研究领域，但在英国公众痛苦地意识到高级金融的可怕力量之际，围绕这一主题的展览提供了一个令人兴奋的机会，让更广泛的公众和媒体了解资本主义新史的核心知识关注点。这将是第一个对金融视觉想象进行广泛历史概述的展览。因此，它本身既是一项重要的研究成果，也是一种创新方式，让公众了解市场不受一成不变的经济规律支配，而是由文化和历史构建的这一观念。
