But if you left it the way it is now, it makes them think more about the subject and theme of money, currency, and capitalism. Art has really took a turn towards being minimalistic and interpretive.

Just my 2 cents, good luck with whatever you decide end up doing!

That's the thing though - it's not a "piece." It's just a sheet of $1s that my my grandma got me & I held onto it. You dudes have really seen someone paint on a sheet of $$$?

This is where art is subjective.

I already see that mass produced uncut sheet of "paper" as a piece of art, it speaks about Capitalism on so many levels already without having to scream it.

By clichéd I meant the whole "capitalism is evil' thing. Been done and it isn't clever anymore.

Oh yeah, the "capitalism is evil" thing is def played. I don't think capitalism is a bad thing. I wouldn't want to have too much input into the vision of the piece, but I hope that they would put more thought into it. There are so many levels of capitalism & money itself. Good discussion
