The project "The Goldfish Bleeding in a Sea of Sharks - Wrestling Club" explores the effects of Neoliberal on the art market through various artistic actions. It includes a performance, panels, NFT and web art, research trips, a radio show, and a short film, involving a diverse team of artists aiming to challenge the neoliberal art market's ties to white supremacy and colonialism. Inspired by Lucha Libre, a Latin American wrestling style, the project emphasizes the support artists receive from the audience, highlighting the layered nature of the performance.
