The work What is Wealth? by RELAX (chiarenza & hauser & co) forms part of a larger collaborative exhibition at Cornerhouse, Manchester's international centre for contemporary visual arts and film, called Unrealised Potential. The show aims to explore the creative potential of artists’ unrealised projects, blurring the lines between artist, curator, visitor and producer. For the Zurich based artist group this marks their first UK exhibition.
