It will again deal with the value(s) of Money and Art in that vast moneyless desert. And we will need your help! We won’t need money, but we will need lots and lots of one-dollar bills……..Does this sound a bit cryptic? Please read on and we will try to show, explain, and hopefully get you involved! http://www.dadara.nl/news/Art-As-Money-Festival-9th-of-Feburary-2012 A festive seminar meant to Educate and Inspire and bring together the worlds of Art and Money and maybe adding a bit more Love to that love-hate relationship.

PechaKucha Night Amsterdam Volume 16 http://www.dadara.nl/news/Exchanghibition-Bank-and-Pool-of-Plenty-online! Exchanghibition Bank and Pool of Plenty I am going to build a pool - the Pool of Plenty - filled with money, millions of money bills, bundled in stacks, not real money, but specially designed banknotes/pieces of art. People have to undress (after all it's a swimming pool) and can go into the pool but can not take even one of the bills This will be enforced by security guards surrounding the pool. This pool I want to build for the first time at Burning Man, which might be very interesting because BM is based on a gift economy, where for one week money doesn't exist and is considered a taboo by most....... http://www.dadara.nl/news/Greyman-for-President Support our leader and let the world see that you share his principles.
