    Currency, art, ceramics, economy.

    Anthropologists such as Marcel Mauss believe that our European economies are based on a hidden system of gift and counter-gift, where money is only one ele­ment among others. In prison, money is for­bidden, replaced by objects and alter­na­tive sys­tems. The work­shop con­ducted in October 2019 with the stu­dents of the Duperré School is inspired by research con­ducted by the artist Julie Ramage in deten­tion to open the dis­cus­sion on the notion of exchange cur­rency.

    How can a mate­rial often con­sid­ered of little value, dirt, become an exchange cur­rency and the source of a sin­gular economy? This work will bring stu­dents to ques­tion the notion of value, the notion of quality, the trans­for­ma­tion and the shaping of this mate­rial, which can ulti­mately pro­duce a specific eco­nomic system. The results of this research will be pre­sented during the Currency, art, ceramics, economy event.
