ABOUT THIS EVENT

Capital <http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/capital.htm> is a
collaborative project for Tate Modern by artists, Neil Cummings and Marysia
Lewandowska. It unfolds as a series of encounters between two iconic
institutions, Tate and the Bank of England, and the economies they animate.
The project is inaugurated with the issue of a gift - a limited edition
print, distributed at Tate Modern and the Bank of England Museum, with an
accompanying book published by Tate.  The project also includes a series of
seminars curated by the artists with cultural theorist Jeremy Valentine and
chaired by Paul Hirst, Academic Director, London Consortium.

The third of these seminars looks at the concept of trust.
Money both facilitates the mundane exchanges of daily life and makes global
connections that have unimaginable force and complexity. The value of money
relies on trust, yet as critics of our economic system argue, its effect is
to destroy wider networks of trust.

Speakers:
Geoff Mulgan (Prime Minister's Policy Unit, Co-founder Demos)
Nigel Thrift (Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol)
Chair: Paul Hirst (Academic Director, London Consortium)
