In Oh, The Tarable Weight (sic), Mark Wagner presents a striking sculpture that pushes the boundaries of currency and its symbolic weight. This powerful piece features 12,000 two-sided color handbills, carefully bundled into bands, and paired with a found scale to highlight the immense physical and metaphorical weight of money. The title, a playful misspelling of "terrible," adds a layer of dark humor, hinting at the absurdity of our collective obsession with material value. While the sculpture itself is a singular work, the banded bundles of handbills, or None Bills, can be purchased individually, allowing viewers to engage with the piece in a personal way. Wagner’s work is a thought-provoking commentary on the overwhelming presence of money in society, both as a literal weight and as a pervasive cultural force.
