Expat Canadian curator Shai Ohayon’s latest offbeat “Container” exhibition presents the art of UK video provocateur Ami Clarke. Clarke’s interest is in how capitalism has transformed every waking moment into a financial transaction. She explores this meme in two video installations as well as a book to be published during the exhibition’s run. The book features an imagined exchange with Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, who has criticized the way in which vested powers can easily “un-publish” or delete uncomfortable material online, ironically leaving old-fashioned print as the more truthful medium.

The Container (inside Bross hair salon), until Apr 9 (listing).
