“TRUST” exhibition billboard

Anne Bush Design, Honolulu, Hawaii, 2002

Description

“TRUST” is a 15- by 25-foot billboard made entirely of uncut one-dollar bills. It was commissioned by The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu for an exhibition in its downtown gallery at First Hawaiian Bank. Installed in a museum within a bank, the piece asks bank customers to reconsider their conceptions of art and museum visitors to reconsider their conceptions of money. The billboard also questions personal trustworthiness, as the money is easily accessible to all visitors from a catwalk that crosses in front of it. Moreover, it asks visitors to reconsider the trustworthiness of public officials. Created in an election year, the billboard was accompanied by a series of small cards that outlined the lack of financial support for public education in Hawaii.
