WASTE PAPER

27-29 March 2024

"Funny, smart and GROSS!"

"₽$¥F€₹ sublimates the superficially ludicrous into a labyrinthine mythology of fake gods, foolish tyrants, and fallen heroes, all of their histories printed on waste paper."

With the assembled notes, the artist threads a narrative history through the different forms of money: organic commodity money used by our ancestors, legally defined paper promissory notes issued by today’s central banks, the digitally scarce cryptocurrency Bitcoin, and the incalculable abstraction of art as money. This history helps to demonstrate the ease of inflating paper currencies, whilst the importance of ‘sound money’ becomes clearer.

Do you want money that is easily made or money that is hard to create?
