Bob Demper Stages Faux Asset Management Boardroom at 1646

Bringing meticulously constructed film sets into the white cube, Bob Demper’s “In Tall Buildings” opens at 1646 in The Hague. The Dutch artist presents several scenes—a bland boardroom, a marble-adorned lobby—and excerpts from 5000 Miles, his ongoing feature film project about an asset manager that (algorithmically) controls 10% of the world’s wealth. Inviting visitors to contemplate the seat(s) of power, Demper illustrates “how the risk taken by the corporate world is almost always a public risk.”
