Bank

Motinternational, London

MOTINTERNATIONAL presents The Banquet Years, an exhibition of work by the artists group BANK. Active in London between 1991-2003, their output combined pugnacious, surly irreverence with an incisive and self-conscious criticality.

BANK exhibited collectively and ran the spaces BANKSPACE, DOG, and Gallerie Poo-Poo. Artworks were combined in installations under the corporate anonymity of ‘BANK’, while gallery activities cut loose from 'public funding worthiness'. For Zombie Golf (BANKSPACE,1995) waxwork zombies occupied the gallery, both getting in the way of 'real' art works and providing a theatrical stage for them, while the invitation to their inaugural show at DOG, Fuck Off (1996), included a page torn from Art and Theory and scrawled across with the words ‘Let’s Rock’. The Banquet Years will survey the group's prints, paintings and sculptures, and will contain an archive of ephemera charting BANK's diverse activities, such as BANK TV and The Bank tabloid. The Banquet Years will also include works from the BANK ‘Fax-Bak Service’. From 1998, BANK corrected gallery press releases, suggesting improvements to their grammar and content, before marking them out of 10 and faxing them back. A typical assessment might conclude:

'1/10
Meaningless and clichéd. Well done!’
