“Dollar Dance/ Marked Bill Exchange” Ken Little performance; 2012
For this performance called “Dollar Dance/ Marked Bill Exchange” I made drawings on $1 Bills with words like TEETH, SOFT, PITCH, SCRATCH, MEAT, etc. Each dollar was signed and safety pinned to a dark suit. The exhibition was a one night installation at a local art patron’s vacant apartment. It was called Vacancy and was organized by Nate Cassie and Ethyl Shipton. The participants were given a card asking if they wanted a FAST dance or a SLOW dance. They would exchange a bill in a larger denomination than $1 on the suit and collect their dance. These are documents of some of the drawings. They are drawn on life-sized real one dollar bills.
