I STILL JUST WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE (SO I CAN DO GOOD THINGS AND HELP PEOPLE) is…
…an on-going (since 2000) all-encompassing 3-dimensional artwork currently made of 62 banana boxes – each an artwork made of artworks that all together are 1 artwork – a reconfiguring of all the stuff I don’t need that I have not yet figured out how to ethically get rid of. Since 2000 (excluding cat litter) I have disposed of less than 1 regular-sized paper bag’s worth of trash per year.

to show
I STILL JUST WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE (SO I CAN DO GOOD THINGS AND HELP PEOPLE) is semi-permanently installed 25 miles north of San Francisco at B763. 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. It condenses to about 5′x5′x5′ or expands to fit any size. Each box is 10″x16″x20″ and averages just over 21 pounds. 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.
