PUSSY RIOT’S NADYA TOLOKONNIKOVA NEW WORKS AND COLLAB WITH CIRCA

In collaboration with CIRCA, Tolokonnikova has produced several hand-signed prints depicting seven male faces on US banknotes that have been disguised in balaclavas. “A woman has not featured on US paper money in over 100 years since Martha Washington’s portrait was featured on the one silver dollar note in the 1880s and 90s,” noted a release by CIRCA. “There are currently seven bills in circulation…all featuring men and each one a symbol of the patriarchy.”

Each print will feature a different banknote and colored balaclava with all proceeds benefitting #CIRCAECONOMY – the organization’s free public art programs, striving to create life-changing opportunities for the wider creative community. Please visit CIRCA for more information. As for the eggplant sculpture, those looking to purchase can currently bid on it via Sotheby’s My Body My Business online sale, which concludes on March 11.
