Gott.Geld.Kunst.Kapital.

"Geld & Guilt" signs a kind of structure reminding a multiplicity of rituals, being experienced again and again. The collection of views by the various artists seems as an option for a ritual of artistic apprenticeship. The use of everyday life, of familiar symbols of knowledge, action, speech and behaviour, is served to the spectator in a time frame like a special act for thinking about the symbolic meanings of the 'Geld & Guilt ritual' and its unique value. This is an experimental proposal where art desires to preserve the ritual as a power, as an influence and as inner necessity. The German word Geld and the English word Guilt direct us from the historical gaze to the contemporary gaze in questions such as which role money fulfilled in the past regarding German guilt, which role it fulfils today in the same context and, in addition, has this structure of compensating guilt with money been copied to other places in the world in different aspects?

It seems that in the last years the connection between money and guilt becomes more relevant as the world is dominated more and more by the capitalistic mechanism in general and in the individual level. Dealing with the dependence relationship between money and guilt enables us to insist on the problems characterizing our era as we are witnessing changes in various parts of the world, where the linkage between money and guilt is prominent, such as in areas moving from socialism to capitalism. In which ways is the couple of words Geld and Guilt presented in various cultures and in various domains of cultures? How this couple of words is expressed in political, religious, economical, psychoanalytical, ecological and gender aspects?
