Description
double love & flied currency (2020) is comprised of two and three-dimensional paintings that were formerly one continuous 33-meter-long artwork. Some of the paintings in the series are affixed directly onto the wall, while others are stretched over slanted protrusions extending into the gallery space. At first glance, the artworks' loosely collaged compositions depict gestural illustrations of faces, text, and symbols. However, as the gallery lights turn off at intermittent intervals, ultraviolet lights abruptly replace them, illuminating an additional, normally unseen layer within the artworks. The black lights reveal that the paintings are themselves bank notes, issued by Double Fly Art Center's Double Fly Awkward Pay Banking Branch and the amount of these bank notes corresponds to the actual price of the artworks. Further, the prices vary significantly while the artworks remain the same size, leveling a comment on the nature of the art market, society's perception of value, and the role of art as a financial instrument.
