Mat Gleason : Like any good business man, Matthew Weinberg uses money as his medium. But his job is making the actual bills into contemporary art. He mocks the patriotic portraits with legal tender rockstar graffiti and adds commentary in covering up various letters in the text on bills to add the dimension of commentary amidst his Federal Reserve solo show.

Every artist wants a solo show, wants their art to be seen. Weinberg simply asks people for a clean five dollar bill for five of his artwork ones. Getting his name and visual approach spread wide is his artistic strategy. Cool cash awaits for the sale of future paintings, he is busy building a brand by improving George Washington.
