Money is the god of our time, the finance bankers are our high priests and the stock exchange is our cathedral: During the ongoing credit crunch the economic realities have shown their true simulacrian nature and all sorts of liabilities have turned out to be lies. The central banks in all countries have been frenetically pursuing new dogmas, trying out different unfounded policies and been forced to admit that they don't know what's going on. How did the science of economics end up in this disorderly mess? How did the mystique of money suddenly turn the tables? Org.: Stamsund International Theatre Festival.

BAKTRUPPEN EVALUATION TEAM
21st. & 22d. of June 2008 at European Centre for the Arts Hellerau, Dresden
: Baktruppen was invited by the European Centre for the Arts Hellerau in Dresden, to find out "What is value". In order to measure and increase the value of the festival as a whole, BAKTRUPPEN EVALUATION TEAM created a Money Pool. The audience was asked to help us find the Gross Artistic Product (GAP) by giving one € to one of the 22 performances. Then Baktruppen levered this value by 10 and painted a piece of the diagram blue. To color the pool and to help them choose, thereby making the GAP grow, we gave resymées from the 21 other performances, and spoke about money matters, our universal unit of measurement. All in all, the audience gave 99 €, triggering 990 € from Baktruppen, which make a GAP of 1.089 €, the sum total given back to the festival. Kunstwerkmessung (pdf).
