These days, in one of the most dire economic climates of our lifetimes, one thing on the minds of many people is money – we all have some, many want more, we use it everyday. Probably by the time most of us were three years old we saw, handled and/or spent money. In the United States, one of the richest countries on earth, it is often a topic of discussion and the focus of thousands in their careers – Wall Street, the corporate structure, the major banks, mortgage companies and lenders.
Since just about everyone on the planet has a knowledge of and experience with money, we began to wonder just what artists might have to say on this subject.
MOOLAH brings together artists who have created original artworks on the subject by either creating images based on currency or coin of this and other countries, or by altering or manipulating actual paper currency or coins or including images of actual currency in their work. To broaden our approach we also include work about barter, trade, sales and other transactions or processes which involve our subject.
This exhibit is sponsored by Merck & Co., Inc. and is handicapped accessible.
Gallery Hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1-4 PM. The exhibit can also be viewed during our regular office hours: 9AM-12 & 1PM-4PM, Monday through Friday. Parking is available behind our building on the Seminary Avenue side.
