UNITE NOLA

Tripping around the web today, I happend upon a post on The Groundswell Blog about New Orleans-based artist Dan Tague’s latest exhibit.
The collection, entitled ‘Cash Rules Everything Around Me’, features denominations of the almighty dollar in a variety of crumpled-up positions that appear meaningless at first glance. But a closer look reveals that the artist has transformed each note into a simple, but poignant statement of artistic protest.

Here are some images from the collection:

Unfortunately, the exhibit - which is on display at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery -ends today, but you can see the rest of the exhibit on their site or wacth this video of Dan Tague speaking about his inspiration for the exhibit.

CASH RULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME
