C.R.E.A.M
C.R.E.A.M. (Cash rules everything around me)
Installation from the carnival of monsters show (of which i was co curator)the installation is a pile of fake 500 Nicka monopoly notes the The game of monopoly is a popular game for children most parents
play it with their children because it teaches them simple mathematics,
But the game of monopoly actively encourages the buying out of every other player
and the taking of what they have. It encourages capitalist ideals, is it really a good
idea to teach children that the best way to be successful is to be greedy?,
to create a monopoly? After asking himself these questions the the artist plays
another game with your perception of a classic design the monopoly bank note,
On closer inspection hes made it his own, its a Nicka note, a play on his own name,
and a pun on slang from London. Added to this is the choice of hand drawing the notes,
creating a suggestion of forgery, As if the artists wishes to float this currency on the stock
market as an alternative to the current a selection of worthless papers, again playing a game
with your perceptions of what art means is it art? or is it money? the title of this installationC.R.E.A.M takes its title from a wutang clan track again mixing its referances to popular culture.
