Enrique Chagoya elaborates upon the political satire of One Recession Watchdog (Instant Update), 2011, on view in What is an edition, anyway?. In this collaboration with software designer Sean Gallagher and artist Donald Farnsworth, Chagoya subtly redesigned a one-dollar bill and embedded it with networked electronics to display in real time the national debt of the United States. The resultant artist’s multiple transforms one of the most recognizable objects in the sphere of editions into a poignant commentary on the Great Recession of 2008.
Following the discussion, Chagoya invites Favianna Rodriguez to conduct a poster-making workshop. Register here to participate.
MFA’s free Gallery Sessions invite artists and curators to explore and contemplate their works on view with visitors in an intimate setting.
