Liz Glynn: HOARD

Sep 7–Oct 27, 2012

From the Press Release: Throughout history objects have been assigned value in disparate and disproportionate ways. From the Bronze Age to the present, one can trace the history of human value-systems not only through the objects we have stored away (buried in the ground as savings for the future or as offerings in the afterlife), but also the containers we have used to protect them. In times of uncertainty (war, plague, financial crisis, etc.), the urge to stockpile capital in physical form becomes all the more prevalent.
