"25 years is a long time when it comes to an art project. But here we are - 25 years after the beginning!
The first artmoney was created in 1997, and a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. I took some photos of some of the many articles, written about artmoney over the years and put them together for this collage, to form an impression of how much the project has filled in the media. And that's just a small part of what's been published in magazines, newspapers, books, radio and television. Artmoney contains many amazing stories. As many as it houses amazing artists, each with their own amazing narrative. It has been an absolutely fantastic journey for me to be part of artmoney from start to finish, and it has truly shaped my life and the choices I have made."

I am so grateful to have discovered Lars & Artmoney
As an artist all my life I questioned the values of nature, of everything, developing a keen sense for the Arts & living a free life. Some folk have said you need courage yet for me it was simpler than that. I just never valued the idea of working for a living. No wonder then, that aged 61 & swimming in creativity, that I believe more than ever that life in actual fact lives itself & that I am crazy enough to see it, that in reality I don't have a choice, therefore no courage necessary. I learnt from nature to accept change and let life be, precarious as that is, I'm willing to take the chance
Thank you Lars for creating artmoney.
See you in Denmark soon! Or Vienna! Karen Sennefelder & myself are in the beginning stages of organising an Exhibition, the first of its kind in Austria!
