Description
Summary:
"Occupy your wallet is an ongoing project by a Delaware based artist, in which photographs of demonstrators, often including placard messages, are printed on valueless credit cards, which are given away free - sometimes to other Occupy protestors, sometimes to friends and acquaintances, and sometimes at exhibitions and open studio visits. The work - being free, and intended to be kept in an untraditional space for art (one's wallet) ­- explores parallels between the Occupy movement and alternative press traditions of subverting, appropriating and re-claiming centers of power - be they galleries or governments"--http://www.occupyyourwallet.ws/ (as viewed 8/29/2012).
