Money (2015)

 

Performance, 2015 – 2020

Money is a lifetime performance where the artist promises to publish how much money she possesses on the first day of every month, starting on the 1st of April 2015 and continuing until the day she dies.

You can pay £100 to collect a copy of the artist’s monthly bank statement by email: money@zhutian.co.uk. You are also welcome to send an email to the same address to talk about anything related to ‘money’. Bank statements are limited to one copy per month.

Any communication between individuals and the artist may be published. By sending an email to the above address, the sender automatically gives the artist the right to publish the content of those emails should she decide to do so at any point in time.

In 2020, following the death of her father, the artist received a considerable amount of inheritance. She decided to permanently terminate ‘Money” project after she realised that money has stopped being the dominating influencing factor in her life. 

《钱》是艺术家朱田于2015年4月1日启动的终身行为项目:艺术家承诺于每个月的1号在自己的网站上公布截止目前为止她所拥有的所有存款数额,直到艺术家死的那天项目自动终止。

任何人可以通过邮件money@zhutian.co.uk,并支付100英镑的方式收集艺术家的银行月结账单(每月仅限一份)。你也可以给艺术家发邮件谈论任何与“金钱”相关的话题和故事。

2020年,由于父亲突然去世,艺术家继承了一笔数目可观的遗产。当她意识到“钱”在她的生活里不再是构成具有巨大影响的因素时,于是她决定永久终止这个行为项目。
