Dan Tague’s Church and State from Cash Rules Everything Around Me

Dan Tague and Jonathan Ferrara Gallery are reproducing Tague’s Cash Rules Everything Around Me as a line of t-shirts.  One dollar from the sale of each t-shirt will be donated to the New Orleans Habitat for Humanity.  I like Tague’s work, it has a similar appeal to Cildo Meireles’ Banknote Project, but, per Meireles, if we think of these commodities as an insertion into ideological circuits, it strips the subversive, disruptive qualities away, and Cash Rules Everything Around Me is no longer understood as an observation or social criticism, but an ethos.  Then again, Meireles is in the Tate – voluntarily – and, though I don’t plan to purchase one, I would wear a Tague t-shirt.   Thoughts?

Here’s one from the archives – remember Nadia Plesner, the Danish artist under fire from Louis Vuitton for copyright infringement?  Perhaps the image will jog your memory:

What ever happened to her?

Yesterday, Another Limited Rebellion took us for a trip down (Bad) Memory Lane, sharing Sticker Guy’s commemorative Flickr collection of sticker art protesting Bush.

Are there others?

Half competition, half cooperation, the Canadian apparel producers Thoughtcrime Ink are holding a design competition to raise money for anarchist bookfairs and other grassroots projects in Canada.  Submissions will be scored by visitors to the website, and designers can even make the competition part of their process by submitting a design for critique.

Via.
