History and vanguard are like prisms. They do not give us a panoramic view of the real world. Rather, they allow the richness and polymorphism of experiences in the past to be reflected when viewed from different angles. Memory does not become art until it is translated into a proper artistic language. . Included in this exhibition is a selection of graphic works by: MIRÓ- VALDES- TAPIES- PLENSA- CLAVÉ- CHILLIDA- RAFOLS CASAMADA- LUCIO MUÑOZ- GUINOVART- CASTILLO- SAURA- LAM- HERNÁNDEZ PIJUAN-PONÇ- MATTA. After the exhibition we will move to the BreakTimers chill out evening at the Coctum bar across the road where we will distribute free BreakTime banknotes.

Monopoli Money Exchange
Posted by Alain on Jan 28, 2009 in Break Time Currency, Breaktime Stories
OSLO, Incredible! A lady went to a bank and exchanged Monopoli money for Euros 190! Double Incredible! Happy with the result she goes back and tries to exchange more Monopoli money for the value of Euros 750!! Well this time the bank employee was a little smarter than the first one and called the police who arrested her….. does this show us that the value of money is only a matter of trust (or stupidity some may say)?
See more on the history of money and why the economy is collapsing at http://www.breaktimers.com/bank/history.html. In any case please dont try to exchange BreakTime Banknotes in banks, nevertheless you may try to swiftly barter them for people’s time.
What is money worth nowadays?
Posted by breaktimer on Oct 7, 2008 in Break Time Currency
Since the end of the Gold Standard, Money has no intrinsic or material value! If the shit hits the fan you won’t be able to go to a central bank and claim Gold or anything else for it. Too bad eh!
So money is only worth the trust we put in it, what happens now that banks don’t trust each other?
