“Blu Gold” / Artist talk
ReBonkers / 26.03 / 18.00
Before a Rider impaling a Lion was put on a coin there was Salt.
Here lies the origin of many things: a social pyramid, outsourced labour, a fortification, industry and chemistry, metallurgy, urbanity, Gold. Grave 43. Foraging through time. Forging and doing time. Double the value and give it to the next person. BLU GOLD is an artistic project by Tilmann Rödiger (AT) and Lukas Rehm (DE) examining the interconnected history of money and disparity from its prehistoric origins at the Western coast of the Black Sea to the different economic and political hearts of Europe. It is based on an evolving archive of documentary images and multigenerational perspectives on the rich prehistoric remnants of “Old Europe”, their discovery in a socialist Bulgaria, their secret paths into the West, their implications for a present 6000 years apart. On 26th at 6pm we will present the project in the shape of a lecture performance at ReBonkers Varna.
