BANK was an artists’ group active in London during the 1990s. Their most significant contribution to UK contemporary art was a series of curated group shows, often with comical, and sometimes offensive, titles. As a group they adopted an aggressive stance towards the mainstream contemporary art scene of the time.
John Russell and Simon Bedwell founded the group in 1991. Dino Demosthenous was also a member at this time, but left in 1992. In 1993 Russell and Bedwell were joined by Milly Thompson, David Burrows and Andrew Williamson. Burrows left the group in 1995, Williamson in 1998, Russell in 2000. When Gallerie Poo Poo closed after the three-day show Press Release in January 1999, BANK begun to exhibit their collective work in other venues: The Mayor Gallery, London, Magasin 4, Bregenz, Rupert Goldsworthy Gallery, New York, Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, London, Chapman FineARTS, London, Suburban, Chicago, and finally the inaugural show at Store, London, after which Milly Thompson and Simon Bedwell began to work separately as artists whilst managing the BANK archive.
The approximately twenty shows curated by BANK included the work of the BANK artists alongside the work of several future Turner Prize nominees and winners. Although the BANK exhibitions were mostly held in warehouse spaces on Curtain Road, then Underwood Street (both Shoreditch, London) the name of the gallery changed. Initially it was BANKSPACE, then DOG, and finally Gallerie Poo-Poo. The various artworks were combined together as single sprawling installations.
BANK also published a satirical magazine delivering tabloid-style critiques of the art world. Headlines included, "AD MAN YOU’RE A BAD MAN," and, "GALLERIES ‘ALL OWNED BY RICH PEOPLE’ SHOCK."[1] Other "frankly adolescent" headlines were "GILLIAN WEARING THIN", "SIMON PATTERSON - EIGHT YEARS ONE IDEA!" and "SAM TAYLOR WOULD - NOT DO ANY MORE ART USING OPERA!"[2]
Prior to the late 1990s, US commercial banks were forbidden by law to offer investment services. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 made it legal for a bank to offer both commercial and investment services. Over the years, the distinction between commercial and investment banks has blurred. The types of investment services offered by banks include:
# Money management: The first step for any investor is to ascertain the amount of money he has at his disposal for investing and the various financial options available to maximize returns and tax rebates and minimize risks.
# Portfolio management services: These services are aimed at investors achieving the right mix of investments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, derivatives and CDs, depending upon their financial goals and risk appetite. Portfolio management encompasses making a choice between equity and debt, domestic and international investments as well as growth and safety.
# Retirement planning services: Once the retirement goals have been laid down, appropriate investments need to be made into pension plans, 401(k) plans and profit sharing plans. One may also need to invest into the financial and money markets to ensure a steady stream of income post retirement.
# Collective investment portfolio management: Banks offer advice on collective investments, such as mutual funds, ETFs and managed funds. One may also need professional advice for investing in hedge funds. Such funds hedge their risks via methods like short selling.
# Brokerage services: Investors need brokers to trade in bonds, stocks, foreign currency and derivatives. The brokerage services offered by banks are considered more reliable and are preferred to those offered by individual brokers.
Apart from financial goals, investors may have other priorities that financial institutions providing investment services can take into account. Such priorities may include socially responsible investing, green investing and sustainable investing..
