Art As Money

When bankers get together for dinner, they discuss art. When artists get together for dinner, they discuss money. - Oscar Wilde

The art of turning Art into Money and back into Art again.

I feel there's a strong connection between the work we did with the Exchanghibition Bank/ Art As Money and NFT's. And another parallel is that I used Money to question Money, and now use an NFT to question NFT's....

Curious to hear from people who know both projects how they see the connection between the two?

The Art of turning Art into Money and back into Art again was the slogan of the Exchanghibition Bank, so it seems pretty logical that DADARA is exploring the NFT space with this WTF NFT. Curious to hear your thoughts about the accompanying WTF NFT manifest!

The first ever Dadara NFT - the WTF NFT - is now online! Includes a WTF NFT Manifesto (in the details) Curious to hear your thoughts!

It seems to have become the talk of the Art town recently: the NFT. Is it the future of Art? Is it going to ruin our environment? Will it enable artists to make a living of their Art in this digital age? Is it an elaborate pyramid scheme? Or is it just something that is so f*cking new that we actually still have no clue WTF this is all about? A new exciting adventure for me and I don't know where this'll lead me, but I guess the only way to find out is to take a leap into the Unknown!

Check the Opensea link in the comments for the NFT!

The Art of turning Money into Art

15/06/2020

It's time for some Art as Money again: This time a collab by former Art As Money founder DADARA with Bas Kosters.

Art and Money have always been in a, as Facebook would categorise it, complicated relationship.

https://www.facebook.com/events/341633033523130/

Me and Bas Kosters will explore this theme in the place where love, passion, and money/commerce meet: the Red Light District. We'll do so in one of the infamous red light love-making/sex-worker rooms (peeskamertje), where on the 20th of June we’ll collaborate in a safe way using money to create art.

Does selling your art mean you're selling your soul, or is it merely an example of creative entrepreneurship? Does earning a lot of money from your art make you a sellout or a blockbuster artist drawing in big crowds of admirers?

Does money more generally speaking lure you into doing those things you’d rather not do or can it enable you to actually follow your passion?

The result of this special collaboration will be released this autumn at the 10 year anniversary exhibition of Amsterdam Street Art: Naar de Gallemiezen, an Amsterdam love story

Lots of Art as Money pages in this book! :-) Photos of many of the adventures of the Exchanghibition Bank, the original paintings of our banknotes, black and white money drawings, photos of the Transformoney Tree, and much more..... http://www.dadarabook.com

Marian Goodell, CEO of Burningman, looking happy with the dummy of the upcoming Dadara retrospective book, which of course does feature a lot of photos of my Burning Man projects. And you can't see it now, but I look even happier than Marian knowing that this baby is almost going to print! 😁😁😁

Photo taken today at THNK School of Creative Leadership, where I gave a talk about the Solipmission project two months ago. Small world.
