Laura Gilbert "Money, Men and Mischief"

poster for Laura Gilbert  "Money, Men and Mischief"

This event has ended.

The exhibition features the free "Zero Dollar" print, which has received attention worldwide - by The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and the Associated Press, among many others - as a powerful artwork confronting the current breakdown of the American economy.

As part of the artwork and in the perfect artistic analogy, Gilbert deflates - to zero - the monetary value of the print by making a huge edition of 10,000. Gilbert's first give-away took place on October 7 across from the New York Stock Exchange, and she is continuing to make the print available as part of the exhibition. "The Zero Dollar" will be free to all comers beginning at the artist's reception on October 24 until all the prints have been distributed. Each print is hand signed and numbered by the artist.

Gilbert has also created a series of works that feature the zero-dollar bill on various commodities -- including aluminum, copper, palladium, and gold - playing with the concepts of value and worth.
