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.
“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.”

I’m going through many of my old video tapes. This one was undated but my best guess is 1995. My improvisational group, The Gametones (Pronounced Gamma Tones), performs at the Exit Art Gallery.
