THE ORIGAMI-STYLE MONEY SCULPTURES OF ARTIST DAN TAGUE
Dan Freidus forwarded this item from the Utne Reader about the paper money sculptures of artist Dan Tague. Thanks!
-Editor
"We Need A Revolution" and "Reality Sucks" Dan Tague is a New Orleans-based artist with a different sort of green thumb. Tague folds American banknotes in a sort of slapdash origami-style. Often his mini-money-sculptures look like inconspicuous, crumpled wads of cash. But if you look closer, you'll see that Tague has creased the money in such a way to spell out messages—many of which have an anti-capitalist tone. You probably didn't think that "We Need a Revolution" was written on the six dollars in your pocket. Well, look again.
