Legal Tender (2011)
An audio-based private performance
Date: April 30, 2011
Time: 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Venue: Next: The Invitational Exhibition of Emerging Art (Art Chicago), Merchandise Mart
In partnership with Adam Van Eeckhout
Part of Tender Exchange, a 5-day collaboratively curated exhibition
curated by Ariel L. Pittman, Bonnie O’Donoghue, Joseph G. Cruz and Joe Mault
featuring work by Scott Carter, Molly Shea, Zihan Loo, Jennifer Mills and Sean Ward
Tender Exchange is a collaborative, progressive installation composed of work by five artists pursuing degrees at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. From April 28 – May 2, 2011, each artist contributed their own work while also responding to, working around and collaborating with the other participating artists to produce a material and conceptual experience that extends beyond the independent practices of each participant.
Legal Tender is a performance on the third day of the installation. The artist distributed a series of limited edition artwork to members of the public over the duration of his performance. These multiples consist of bills and coins earned in part by artist Molly Shea, whose installation preceded Legal Tender.
Members of the public dialed a designated number, which connected them to the artist within the exhibition booth. The artist recounted ‘live’ the experience of working as a go-go dancer and being hired to spend the night with a patron. If the listener stays on the line till the end, he / she was eligible to collect a multiple.
The artist managed to distribute 52 of 98 multiples over the duration of the performance, unclaimed multiples were handed over to artist Jennifer Mills, whose installation followed Legal Tender.
