Overall that means $2,296.84 + $2,573.26 = $4,870.10. <br /><br />What does $2,296.84 + $2,573.26 = $4,870.10 mean in your life?

I will hand out these buttons at the opening and they will be available for people to take throughout the exhibition. They are free since people are already paying enough. I encourage people to wear these buttons, and when asked about them, talk to people about the bailout. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I am also collecting responses from people about what $2,296.84 means in your life, responses which I will record here. If $2,296.84 would fix the current financial situation we might all be willing to make the sacrifices listed here. This project aspires to ground this very abstract number in a way that is meaningful in our own lives, inspire dialogue and perhaps even public response. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">If you are unable to attend the exhibition and would like to submit a response and receive a button please contact me through my yahoo account juliejeanus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Exhibition details:</span><br /><a href="http://goldenbeltarts.com/newsEvents_Details.php?event_id=30"><span style="font-family:arial;">BAILOUT BIENNIAL</span></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">January 16 - March 15, 2009<br />Golden Belt, Building 2, Floor 3, 807 East Main Street, </span><strong></strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Durham, NC</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">26 Artists, 10 States, 4 Countries, 1 Crisis. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Organized by elin o'Hara slavick and Jeff Waites </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Exhibition Artists: Lauren Adams, Becca Albee, Joshua Bienko, Clare Britt, Ann Chwatsky, Maria DeGuzman, Severn Eaton, Lorena Endara, Paul Evans, Peter Eversoll, Cathryn Griffin, Michael Itkoff, Andrew Johnson, Geoffrey Owen Miller, Susan Mullally, Shaw Osha, Conor Peterson, elin o'Hara slavick, Susanne Slavick, Hiroshi Sunairi, David Tinapple, Julie Thomson, Paul Valadez, Stacy Waddell, Jeff Waites, Karen Frimkess Wolff </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Hours: 10 AM to 6 PM, Sunday hours are 12 PM to 5 PM.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Free, open to the public.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2495010706019466153-3215639107295631632?l=howmuchamipaying.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>juliejeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08931924713631739361noreply@blogger.com1
