Using Duchamp's Large Glass as an inspiration (The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors, Even), this exhibition replaced the Bachelors in the piece with Brokers - nine of the financial czars who were arguably held responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. Of the once-deadly seven sins (represented by a series of wall works), only one - greed - continues to inflict society with potentially disastrous results.
