One day I was drawing in my sketchbook, over the next few weeks these animated characters jumped out of the page and came to life.
As part of Global village 2012 I was asked to represent England in an international show that toured around Europe, to Holland France and then to this final location at the culture house in Brondby strand Copenhagen.
The installation C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) was chosen and installed in some manner in all three locations the project started with me running to Holland to Amsterdam central airport with a brief case full of fake cash like I was about to make a major drug deal. Once I had arrived at the gallery and avoided customs, I proceeed to empty out the fake bank notes onto the floor of the gallery and install the installation so as to look like a blob of cream on the floor of the space.
Money seems to be a major issue in current affairs at the moment,in this installation artist Nicholas Wright plays a game with our perceptions of what money is, what it represents, and how much value we perceive in it.
Explanation of the five hundred Nicka note used in the installation.
The game of monopoly is a popular game for children most parents play it with their children because it teaches them simple mathematics,But the game of monopoly actively encourages the buying out of every other player and the taking of what they have. It encourages capitalist ideals, is it really a good idea to teach children that the best way to be successfull is to be greedy?,to create a monopoly? After asking myself these questions I play another game with your perception of the classic design of the monopoly bank note, On closer inspection I have made it my own, its a Nicka note, a play on my own name,and a pun on slang from London. Added to this is the choice of hand drawing the notes,creating a suggestion of forgery, As if the artists wishes to float this currency on the stock market as an alternative to the current a selection of worthless papers, again playing a game with your perceptions of what art means is it art? or is it money?
Quite aside from this game I am asking of the viewers through the faking of monopoly bank notes. I originally thought of the concept for this installation during a period when I literally could not “rub two pennies” together as we say in England.
So I started making my own bank notes partly to cheer myself up, and partly as a comment on the fact that the moment the recession in England hit. A massive art sale of modern art at Christie’s saw a record number of outrageous million pounds plus sales by modern artists there work bought by the same people who stole the money from the public in the first place.
I decided to parody this in the installation by floating my own currency around an international show of art making a comment both about the death of the euro and the fact that I had as far as I was concerned found the stolen millions it was in art galleries!
I also wanted people to feel they could have some of the money back and so throughout the entire touring (or floating) of the installation I have actively encouraged people to “steal their money back” from the installation. To this end I have even gone to the point of hiding fake bank notes around the library section of the Brondby strand centre and sending the locals of on a treasure hunt to find their lost millions.
The 500 nicka note installed in the fantasy section at the bronby strand kulture house.
So far the five hundred Nicka note has been floated all around Europe and in shows all around the east midlands and may hopefully be in another touring show in India later this year.
The five hundred nicka note is available in an infinate edition for all who want it and cost approximately five English pounds to own (dependent on the stock exchange.)
At the start of the final show I was informed that some of the local immigrant children had found some of my funny money and were standing outside the culture house throwing it in the air shouting “I’m rich!”
A brilliant end to the show.

Just to reiterate a really nice review the group show I am part of, the exhibition closes tomorrow but there is a closing party from 6.00pm/10pm with live music from Brett James on his electro acoustic and it’s free in the centre of town, come have a listen and grab a beer.
As a fine artists Nicholas Wright has NEVER EVER EVER shown any of his performance work,
usually because he finds it a bit …..well cheap in general, however in the none pretentious cain head
world of clubbing his alter ego the 99p ninja has been mixing down various “digilogues” of himself for years
parodying both the club scene and the fine art performance scene. This mix down using live video mixing
software, and one of his alter egos dj mad has been pumping the dance floor to everyone from the
scratch perverts and scroobius pip to his mates back garden party for years. The question is will
anyone ever accept dj mad as a serious piece of performance art or will he continue on his quest to annoy
clubbers the world over, till they get eye cancer.

Title: “Owned”
materials: hand painted frame grass turf photo shop.
This piece relates to three different things at once the title is a duel reference to both the game slang terminology “you’ve been owned” and to the owner ship of land which is another form of ownership, It also references the English obsession with land ownership and especially with the grass lawns of suburbia. In a time when people seem happy to squabble over the tiniest scraps of legal ownership of any part of the country. This piece can also be seen as a political comment on the “landed” gentry and the refusal of the rich to pay back what they have stolen from the people using electronic transfers. This is the reasoning for the medium to be a digital print available in an infinite edition, as a comment on societies obsession with money and power. In the end money does grow on trees its just paper.

“They Will Never Expect”
Hand vandalised map 2010
They will never expect an attack from here! like some crazy game of risk, I ran to the studio with a cheap map, bought from a stationary shop and proceed, to write down every stereotype, I can about the countries on the map or exactly what I may have heard in the news that week about such and such a country. Intended as a comment on how we all seem to insist on killing each other, for silly tribal reasons. It ended up as more of a kind of strange joke poking fun at every country. I don’t even think some of the things I wrote down are even remotely true, in fact I know they are not because, I made them up, factional art i guess you could call it.
“Las Minas Terribles!”
Digitally altered photograph
The concept is important with this one, its part fictional intervention, part social commentary. The original image was taken in my local country park, in Cotgrave, which is on the site of the old pit. The shadow of the pit in the village where is live has never gone away, even now the original sign said stay away dangerous ground mine, basically saying dont walk on this bit.
I decided to subvert this and combine it with another major issue which is the issue of landmines, on closer inspection the viewer should realise that the sign simply is not real, as it has Cambodian ( think it Cambodian) text on the top warning about mines, I combined this with some fictional notion in my head about Las Minas Terribles! I have no idea where that came from. Then I simply liked the idea of connecting the double meaning behind the words and meanings to create a kind of farcical image, which really questions why the mine is still such a massively dangerous thing (in both contexts) even after all these years of none use. I have asked the miners they say that its perfectly safe to walk in the forbidden zone!” in the park as its all been filled in, but health and safety will have the last laugh. I walked there the next week by the way and the fallen down warning sign had been stuck back up, which makes no sense as it serves very little purpose apart from to unwelcome people to a section of public land.
The next part of this mini project was the taking of photographs of the mine sign, taken in completely safe beauty spots in Cotgrave. The sign was taken with me after the photos had been taken further adding to the fictional narrative.
I took these images of an old poster board in Sneinton on my way up to the studio completely without any filter in photoshop they have come out with a real sense of gloom and they almost look unreal as if they have been rendered by a computer for a game.

Laminated book of dreams a2 collage on paper
Information war a2 collage on paper
On a side note i originally started the creation of this piece while thinking about the idea of an information war. That the internet allows the people to communicate far more freely than the governing bodies of the world wish. This was before the current (december 2010) outcry and witch hunt for the creator of wikileaks a site i believe is probably one of the greatest step forwards in humanities struggle against oppression by the over privaleged few. Its simply about information about how all of it should be free, and yet a battle for the very information we crave because of the internet and the digital revolution is being waged silently between governments and the public, remember what they tell you is dangerous to public safety is usually just an inverted way of saying its dangerous to their own safety.
