Cashing in on Molly Malone

‘Artivist’ Will St Leger placed £50,000 worth of fake ‘Bertie’ cash in the baskets of Molly Malone’s statue on the 31st March. The36-year-old street artist filled the baskets of the well-known Dublin monument with one hundred £500 bills that depict image of a JCB tipping Celtic designs into a skip and a portrait of the embattled Taoiseach. The artist says that this art intervention was in protest to the destruction of the Hill of Tara and a culture of greed.

Artivist? Really?

Found over on Captain Mulley’s flufftacular. (It’s hurting our feelings that we keep getting called Soggy Biscuit.)
