For the love of money, money , money!
Grovin’ to this on another Labor Day. Thinking about the “Play Money” project we have been doing. We are about ready to wrap it up and start a much bigger project , but somehow it doesn’t feel over. I feel we need to do some time in front of our major financial institutions. What better place than Bank Town! Maybe in front of the site for the new Wells Fargo Museum! OK-so first a little reflection on the green stuff.
Money is primarily a cultural product. Money often takes the form of official-looking pieces of paper designed by artists, but furthermore, the credibility of any money rests on its cultural message. So why shouldn’t artists create their own money? Would it rely on the barter system in a post- consumer society? Make money! That is why we provide a handy dandy money making kit. If you would like to have a money making kit –please feel free to contact us.
We asked you to design credible money. Make it look both majestic and cheerful to reflect your community’s spirit. Now if we could take it one step further and create our own money system! The NoDa Dollar! Maybe it is good for a discount in one of the local shops. Wow- it helps more people to make art as well as feeds the local economy. I like it and Barbie does too! Now I have to get back to work.
