Small Change

graphic installation

Digital Print Vinyl, Still Photography, Spot Colour Print.

Small Change was a community payback that took place on the 19.11.19. This financial display featured as part of the publicly funded Viewfinder and Make/Shift Spaces functioned primarily as a social exchange and capital redistribution subverting conventions found in the arts, finance and commerce. Small Change attempts to examine the often bureaucratic systems and services that facilitate community engagement and expression within and of the arts.

The use of multiple nodes and definitions of “change” are presented within this installation and are defined on there own terms though the heads and hands of many. As the viewer is transformed into a participant. The literal and figurative marked change embodied in this work presents nominal currency that has elements of control, into distributed artifacts with a renegotiated sense of autonomist action.

This installation examined art as a form of active engagement while also exploring how forms of capital are used and negotiated.
