‘Money Talks: Art, Society & Power’ is an expansive and eclectic exhibition, showcasing the interactions and impacts of Art and Money on each other. It offers revelatory stories on the social history of money using Art as a lens. The exhibition draws on Ashmolean’s world-leading collections, supported with loans from the Royal Mint Museum, the French and the Austrian National Banks, leading British art institutions like the National Gallery and the Tate, and important private holdings.
The talk will focus on curatorial processes involved in creating the exhibition, underscoring principle elements such as evolving ideas, creating and designing spaces, understanding audiences and delivering contents.
