The eighth limited edition fanzine created by Mousse Publishing for ar/ge kunst presents the work of Zachary Formwalt, an American artist whose research is based on the philosophical analysis of material, as well as economic events of historical consequence from the modern era, which he investigates through a polymorphic line of research. Starting from a perspective rooted in Marxist analysis, the artist undertakes an inquiry into the impact of economic history in the social and cultural context of Europe and America from the 17th century onwards. In this context, Formwalt mainly uses visual materials deriving from various sources – such as the mass media, cinema and art history – to offer a critical interpretation of his basic subject matter: financial cash flow and its cultural repercussions.
