Maria Cruz's "Coins" at Galleria Duemila (November 7-December 31)

"Coins"
Maria Cruz
November 7 - December 31, 2006
Galleria Duemila
210 Loring St., 1300 Pasay City, Philippines

In Maria Cruz’s works she followed her concept of- what would so much coin look like in colour on canvas. The compositions are based on chance and the colour black and were informed by Russian constructivist paintings.

According to her, “Wealth and currency form the driving imperatives of our society. They may even crystallize our sense of struggle in relation to life and death. One Million Dollars emerges from Maria Cruz's considerations of the social values placed upon money, from hard cash to intangible digital data.

As Cruz states, generally speaking, it is hard not to like money. And so this project evolved with the goal of gathering and seeing the impressions one million Australian dollars on a flat surface, in colour. Knowing that what is presented is a recreated and devalued version of One Million Dollars creates an interesting tension with the cultural drive to honour, even worship, and 'value-add' to money as social force."
