Windows Art Project 2001 - Time is Money is Art This piece was made for the Windows Art Project for July, 2001.  It consists of ten frames; five above and five below, and sits in the Middlesex Federal Savings Bank in Davis Square between College and Highland Avenues, across from Statue Park.  The five top frames show the progression of a dollar bill to an origami dollar bill sign ($); the five bottom frames show how a penny, at 6% interest, will compound to $1.00 over time, with a few pieces of financial wisdom at key points along the way.  This is the statement that accompanies the piece: "Time Is Money is Art"  Windows Art Project 2001 by A. Anselmo "Time Is Money" uses the ubiquitous dollar bill to show the passage of time in a series of panels, installed most appropriately, in a bank.  The use of simple graphs shows how money changes over time in the classical, economic sense, while the transformation a dollar  bill through the Japanese art of origami is used to show how money can also change in time, from money to art. A one page, condensed version of the installation will be given away to the audience, so they too, can tranform their own time and money into works of art. Here, in five pictures, are the frames "Time", "is", "Money", "is", "Art"; click on the picture to get a larger view of each element.   <> <>  The diagram for folding the "Dollar Bill $ Sign" is available here.
