Summary: As a rapidly growing Liverpool enjoys its status as European Capital of Culture, Variable Capital presents international artists' critical and often humourous responses to today's 'spend spend spend' consumer culture. The international artists in Variable Capital, organised by artists David Campbell and Mark Durden (who, with Ian Brown, work collaboratively as Common Culture), look beyond the glamour of material possessions to the costs of a culture of glitz and excess. In an accompanying Liverpool University Press publication, the curators discuss in detail the works in the exhibition, locating them in a wider historical context.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Taking its title from a term Karl Marx used to explain how value is produced in a commodity, 'Variable Capital' charts the strategies that artist have employed in order to redirect attention toward the usually invisible processes of exploitation and alienation underlying artistic production. Examining a range of international artists, including Common Culture, Richard Hughes, Melanie Jackson, Brian Ulrich, and Andy Warhol, much of the work discussed is characterized by a willingness to engineer awkward and embarrassing situations that challenge the viewer with uncomfortable realities. Many of the artists featured achieve this by humorously subverting familiar objects and rituals to critique and emphasize the ridiculous--creating an art that, though not necessarily redemptive, is still a vehicle by which the often absurd and brutal logic of commodification is revealed.
