They say money makes the world go round — and although Maximo Gonzalez might agree, he's got his own cynical take on the spiraling global economy. Playing with ideas of currency and consumption, Gonzalez cuts up devalued third-world money and transforms it into a delicate mural in which giant factories chew up virgin forests and spit out tanks and TVs. Also on display, Gonzalez's El Changarrito project is a traveling exhibition involving a humble pushcart used by Mexican street vendors. The cart works double duty here, selling the work of emerging Bay Area and Latin-American artists at affordable prices, while also offering a wry critique of the current art economy.
