NB! To take part of the auction, please take cash with you (to take part, you do not need much, but at least something)!

The event is part of the project "The Art_Value: Nordic Network" (https://balticnetwork.art.blog) that is initiated to investigate the neoliberal values in art processes in Baltic countries and Sweden. The network is supported by by the Nordic Culture Point and the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Come to be a part of the network and contribute to the research!

Some questions that have been rised are following, but you may add your own:

How the art is valued?
How historical, geopolitical and economic factors shape our understanding of the value of art?
How the political economy influences art and artistic processes such as production, circulation, and consumption of art?
What is the role of the art economy in our contemporary world?
Is it ethical?
