 Coming with her Husband Margarita Gluzberg The Money Plot The editors of Balzac's novel "La Cousine Bette" decided that in order to truly understand the complex network of the characters, relationships and intrigues in the book, the reader must be provided with a synopsis they termed "The Money Plot" - a breakdown of debts, financial dependencies and connections between the protagonists. The Money Plot lies behind all human relationships. The Money Plot is at the heart of many a great novel. This exhibition (a collection of paintings, drawings and archival & found materials) by Russian born, London based artist Margarita Gluzberg, investigates the marketplace and how it underlies all human social constructs. Compiling an eclectic set of visual propositions that contain autobiographical material from her Soviet childhood, historical images of the English industrial North, glittering contemporary shop facades of Bond Street, and iconic pictures of trading floors, Gluzberg pieces together a bio-fictional history of consumption and its effects. Exhibition: 2 May - 8 June 2008 Gallery hours: Wed-Sun 12 - 6 pm Paradise Row 17 Hereford St, (off Cheshire St) GB-London E2 6EX Telephone +44 (0)207 6133311 Email info@paradiserow.com www.paradiserow.com |
