Issue No. 73 / Money.
Colors 73 looks at money, life’s most coveted companion, in its myriad forms. Passing through the hands of millions, money retains traces of the activities - both noble and scandalous - of those who touched it. Colors had cash taken out of circulation and tested in a lab for telltale substances. The findings form the basis of the magazine, which explores the relationships – both abstract and literal – each substance brings up.

Based on the 73rd issue of Colors Magazine (Money, winter 2007/2008), the show posits that 'money is an illusion', highlighting the myriad contradictions embodied in the all-embracing role money has come to play in modern society. Through photography, creative writing, works of art and interactive installations conceived by Fabrica artists, Colors of Money provides an unorthodox insight into a world seizing from a growing financial crises.
Fabrica has been invited by the cultural space CarréRotondes in Luxemburg to present Colors of Money, an exhibition exploring the approaches, uses and understandings of money.

Through photography, creative writing, works of art and interactive installations conceived by Fabrica artists, Colors of Money provides an unorthodox insight into a world seizing from a growing financial crises. The exhibition simultaneously underlines the innovative response of social groups to the cultural dominance of finance, thus making a subject often considered as incomprehensible more accessible to young people, finance professionals and the general public.
In the spirit of the Colors mantra, 'A magazine about the rest of the world', Colors of Money is a journey through the unexpected, diverse drifts of the monetary world.
CarréRotondes will also offer a program of secondary activities together with the exhibition.
