This short essay was commissioned by artists Julia Tcharfas and Tim Ivison in association with their contribution to a group exhibition called ‘For Inclusion in the Syllabi’ (details here - FIITS_FSP). The project involved a complex and unfolding network of artists, writers and academics who together explore aspects of the nature of collaboration as well as collaborating in their own right. my contribution is a brief reflection on money as a diabolically collaborative project in which we all knowingly or not participate. NB. this is just the raw text, I do not yet know how it is/was presented in the gallery. I will add more details as and when I get them. The essay will also be included in a publication from the exhibition in due course. Details will follow.
The text can be found here - Trickster in between.
