Like hardly any other field, the art world gathers the most diverse forms of capital and labor. Knowing the codes to become part of this world is as important as finding the key to transforming symbolic into economic capital. Between appropriation strategies, class shame and reflections on invisible and/or un(ter)paid labor, the exhibition shows artistic projects that are complemented by a discursive bracket in the form of a zine, thus making the collective process of exhibition development as well as discourses around class and capital tangible and visible.
