What Remains
This is the photo documentation What Remains Cheever Hall on MSU Campus. The show is entitled "What Remains," a reference to a book of Sally Mann photographs that shares the same title.
This piece was repeated at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls in the Spring of 2017.
In the exhibit, there are three $50 bills under the layers of wax in three out of nine small 10 x 10 paintings. There is a pedestal with various clay gouges and loops. The wall text reads the following:
What Remains
Oil and wax on nine canvases, three 50-dollar bills, and a question.
2016
There is a 50-dollar bill underneath the layers of wax in three of these nine paintings to the right.
If you find the money, you get to keep it.
Essentially, to get the money, one had to destroy something beautiful, like in fracking and drilling.
Once all of the money had been taken, I wrote in pencil beneath the canvases: This piece was completed at at 11:38 am on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. It took 5.5 hours for all of the money to be claimed.
