Una monedita no hace pobre a nadie, 2006

forloveandmoney

Aired on Resonance FM at Frieze Art Fair, 2006
Commissioned by: Russell Martin & Joanna Callaghan
Category: Sound piece for radio
Collaboration by: Fernando Arias & Santiago Posada (StudioAural)

For Love and Money takes a look at the art economy through the eyes and experiences of artists and curators, far removed from the glitz of one of the world’s most profitable art fairs, the Frieze Art Fair. Joanna Callaghan and Russell Martin invited artists and cultural workers at the thin end of the financial wedge to respond and react to the notion of an art fair, moving the agenda away from profit and towards a greater sympathy concerning the purpose of art in contemporary society.

“Until the End revolves around two subjects that are at the core of human relations: love and sexual intimacy.
