Hoard

by peterwalshprojects

Hoard is an annotated bibliography - a perpetually expanding accumulation of cultural materials and an inquiry into the ways in which human society creates, manages, conserves and negotiates value. It was designed to be an easy-to-use map that would locate contemporary and historical items at the intersection of economics and aesthetics and note the ways in which those disciplines are caught up in producing what has become known as “value.”

Hoard was originally prepared by artist Peter Walsh in conjunction with the Heart of Gold exhibition (2002) at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City, New York, USA. Curator Larissa Harris.

The second edition was prepared for the Global Priority exhibition (2003) at the Herter Art Gallery, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Amherst, Massachusetts, USA. Curators Grady Gerbracht and Susan Jahoda.

The third edition was prepared for Global Consulting Group: Art in the Office exhibition (2004) at the Global Consulting Group offices, Manhattan, USA. Curator Matt Keegan.
