Dan Tague’s Oragami Activism

Dan Tague’s Cash Rules Everything Around Me is on display at the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery (New Orleans, LA) for only two more days. Tague reconceptualizes common objects for use as artifacts in his “own complex altered narratives.” In this case, he’s folded American money to create phrases using the text on the bill.

In the dollar, he’s managed to find such politically charged phrases as “We Trust Liars, He is a liar. State of Fear. The American Idol. I Hate War. Hunt For Oil. The Heat is On. In God We Trust, Serve The State.”
