'Clean your money here'

Ms White sits on a park bench wearing a golden dress and golden shoes. She takes various objects from her golden handbag. Next to her on the bench a handwritten sign with the following text:

 

Clean your Money here! We wash and polish your money

coins - dry polish 10 cent - cream and polish 30 cent - sanding and polish 50 cent

paper - press 10 cent - wash and dry 30 cent - wash, dry and press 50 cent

 

Passers-by hand the performer coins and paper money for cleaning purposes. Without much prompting audiences engage in dialogue about the different grades of shades of political, economic and social soiling of currencies.

The intervention raises questions with regards to the evaluation of performance art.
