Currency is a novella that seeks true interdisciplinarity not just between mediums but in the search for a plurality of possible ways to express and to approach artistic research. The novella, framed as a gift for the late Kurt Vonnegut, blends his concerns with those of the researcher to examine social economic exchanges both within and outside the art world. Chapter-by-chapter the self-reflexive narrative guides the reader through musings on the experience of the research and the creation of ephemeral artworks using colloquial language, illustrations, jokes and parables.
