HKW, 18.3.2013
Only existing pic we know of. Many thanks to Hito and anyone who was there, it was a blast! Video of the talk to be uploaded soon.
Let’s join shorting forces and run finance out of business. A how-to guide and other practical things for successful hijacking of the market here (yes, there is a pop-up):

“Okay, everyone. Now, quit pitchin’ around and focus your energy on these three minutes!”
NO GUESTS, NO SAFETY NET. JUST US, THE CRITICAL BOARD OF EMPLOYERS, AND SOME SCHNAPS TO RELIEVE THE TENSION.
Swing your bats for our 8th and last Inning of Money on Monday. And this time all the pressure’s on your side.
Imagine the following scenario:
It’s 9:40am. You have an appointment on the summit at 9:45. Your mouth is dry, your hands tremble, your palms are sweaty. You know you’ll only have 3 minutes to convince the board of your idea, of your work, of YOU.
‘Elevator Pitch’ they called it in college. What do they know!
You know one thing, though: Once the muzak stops, the elevator doors will open with a soft ‘bing’ and you’ll be exposed to the Holy Land Assessment Center.
Grip your cue cards tighter. Baby, we’ll have some fun at this capitalist birthday party!
Join us for an ecstatic last edition of MoM, where the players will be us, where the board will be merciless and where you have no idea what you’ll be talking about but you know that you’ll have to bedazzle the grim ole’ capital if you want to have a chance on the market. What a Schlamassel!
A totally realistic scenario with good chances for a cathartic aftershow celebration is presented to you by
Money on Monday. ‘Cause at the top the air gets thinner.
So keep in mind until magic monday:
The devil comes out pitchin’…

11.2. – 20.00h – Via Hardenberg 33 – R115 – University of Occupational Competence

A man like a unicorn. Rare. Noble. Swift. And with a mind that’s set on business.

Olaf Bach will be our guest.

Olaf the adventurer studied economics in St. Gallen and wrote his PhD thesis about The Invention of Globalization. He is an international strategic consultant working in Zurich. He teaches classes in Occupational Competence in St. Gallen and most recently tries to fuse economic and artistic thinking as a guest professor at KHB Weißensee.

S: “That River Olaf sho’ sound like a guy who done accomplish a whole lotta things…”

T: “What you talkin’ ’bout?! If that don’t sound like a whole bunch of gibberish, I don’t know what does!”

What does Tucker mean? And why is Shaneyney so impressed?

Do you really understand globalization? Do you know what a strategic consultant does in his job, what occupational competence could be, or how the hell it could work to fuse the mind on the discourse and the mind on the dough?

No clue? Just like S. & T.

But as our curiosity never halts we promise you one thing: We will find answers and they will be relevant for your future endeavors in the field of the manifold markets. Especially since we have a traveller before us who can diffuse equally between seemingly incompatible mindsets. Seemingly incompatible, I say.

So join Olaf and us for the possibly penultimate Money on Monday EVER.

Kind Regards,

Money on Monday, Your Institute for Applied Futurology.

Money on Monday Neoliberal Movie Night
Menu
After Dirk Fleischmann’s Meaning-Maximization-Maxime and before Olaf Bach’s Margin-Maximization-Maxime* we’ll have an in-between bridging event trying to tie the two positions together with a greasy careerist wearing striped ties and an unpopular political conviction, two ZDF-“philosophers”, a documentary movie, and some image films.
Sounds like a mess? Will be a mess!
Join us for a night of neoliberal savoir-vivre.
The aperitif will be served by populists and politicians:
From 6pm ZDF-“philosopher” Byung Chul-Han debates with best buddy and co-ZDF-“philosopher” Richard David Precht, as well as with Freidemokrat Christian Lindner about the future of capitalism.
Yawn? Only if you listen to what they’ll say. Wear your best Cologne.
Afterwards, at 8pm and in our familiar setting of R115, we’ll serve main course and dessert:
We’ll screen Unilever image films and possibly Carmen Losmann’s “Work Hard, Play Hard”. And we’ll have dolomite lobster. Yummy.
A good opportunity to sport ladies’ suits and pearls or windsor knots and cuff links.
See you on the neoliberal side.
Money. Monday.
* (Olaf who? – Find out more next week – what a Cliffhanger!)

Most Estimated Mondayists,
thank you for the fantastic evening yesterday, we think it was as productive as can be. Your stamina is well appreciated, too.
In the aftermath Dirk “The Business Mind’s Nightmare” Fleischmann sent us an article about the guy with the private banking business he told us about.
The man’s called Dave. Dave!
So let’s bank on Dave, everyone.

Much ca$hmoney love, See you next time around

Stroke upon stroke, respite, respite, nay, never. History is made, es geht voran.

Keine Atempause after the Reinhold Messner field trip, Monday calls and Monday takes:
Your Rainbow Panorama – Olafur Eliasson
iPod – Apple Inc.
mykiosk – Dirk Fleischmann
In the trail of possessive and personal pronouns surrounding contemporary cultural life our guest Dirk Fleischmann uses the one which fully embodies individual agency.
His works – be it myfashionindustries, mystopshow or myfreerangechickeneggs – all deal with business and can be seen as one pearl after another lined up on a golden string.
And all he started with was a couple of chocolate bars back at Städelschule!
But let Dirk himself pitch it to you:
“Since 1997 I have been creating a business conglomerate. My art inhabits economic forms and sneaks into given capitalist structures. The art projects intend to create financial profit, which I have been continuously re-investing completely. This means the projects themselves create the budget for my next artistic investment. Thus every project is a transformation of the earlier ones.”
A contemporary mixture of Hans in Luck and the dishwasher/millionaire-shtick awaits us, a lucky Hans who made it to the iced-out top with a bag full of agency.
Come on, come in, we’ll learn how to force our luck and we’ll finally talk about money again.
Money. As in Money on Monday
