As a rapidly growing Liverpool enjoys its status as European Capital of Culture, Variable Capital presents international artists’ critical and often humourous responses to today’s ‘spend spend spend’ consumer culture.

The international artists in Variable Capital, organised by artists David Campbell and Mark Durden (who, with Ian Brown, work collaboratively as Common Culture), look beyond the glamour of material possessions to the costs of a culture of glitz and excess.

In an accompanying Liverpool University Press publication, the curators discuss in detail the works in the exhibition, locating them in a wider historical context.
