The Financial Cocktail Club. First Instance: Bad Banks

Lokal im Mousonturm

Lecture/Performance

At the first meeting of his Financial Cocktail Club, our host and barkeeper Mr. K will familiarize us with the mysteries of financial manipulation. Gin and Tonics and government bonds. Really a good match? Overshadowed by the EZB, the world’s largest bad bank, we will learn everything about Bad Banking and the future of the Euro. And of course everyone’s favourite subject: “Where has all the money gone?” Special guest: Mario Draghi (tbc).
Chris Kondek is skilled like no other artist of his generation at talking about money and thereby productively pitting the performance terminology of art and high finance against one another. At his “Financial Cocktail Club”, he now remixes the positions of bad banks, hyperinflation and the escape from the euro at irregular intervals and in the process combines facts, fictions, myths and mojitos!
