    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.
