I STILL JUST WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE (SO I CAN DO GOOD THINGS AND HELP PEOPLE) is an artwork…

ISJWTBAM(SICDGTAHP) is an on-going (since 2000), all-encompassing, 3-dimensional, artwork consisting of 55 +/- banana boxes; each is an artwork made of artworks that all together make one artwork.

It is all of my 3-dimensional stuff that I don’t need that I have not yet figured out how to ethically get rid of.

I dispose of approximately one regular-sized paper bag’s worth of trash per year (since 2000).

ISJWTBAM(SICDGTAHP) can be installed into a space as small as 5x5x5 feet or expand to fit any space. Each box is 10″x16″x20″ and averages about 25 pounds. I will re-install it anywhere if all expenses are paid by someone else (I will be as economically frugal and ecologically sensitive as possible).  I will expose as much of it as possible within the given time and space.  I am open to living on site during the process.  I am open to collaborating.  I am open to showing in conventional, alternative, and non-art spaces.

ISJWTBAM(SICDGTAHP) can be purchased for $1,000,000.
