The guy in the top left corner was taping dollar bills to the window, writing such things as “please recycle,” “no value,” etc. The British guy in the bottom right corner said that it was valuable to him, and took a bill.
Update from Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York:
Bowery Outsiders
“On Friday night, Slacktivist John Penley was on hand for the Outsiders art show at 282 Bowery, the former Adams Restaurant Supply…With no placards, chants, or crowds, the silent protest looked a lot like part of the show. Something Penley himself observed, chuckling as he taped dollar bills to the “gallery” window, each bill graffitied in black Magic Marker with the words “worthless,” “eat the rich,” “riot.” Every time he taped another dollar, a flurry of cameras snapped him in action. It might have been performance art.”
