Free Money
Free Money is an ongoing series of situations in which I give away money in various settings, exploring the interactions and experiences that result. Most recently, I met with 22 people one on one in Vancouver cafés. I gave each person $50 (Canadian) and asked them to make a choice as to whether they would keep the money or give it away to someone else. During the meetings, which lasted about a half hour each, I had a remarkable series of conversations about money, work, art, and life.
