München Monopoly was a group show of P.A.D. artists that took place in 2021 at Galerie Christine Mayer for Various Others in Munich Germany. From Broadway to Maximilianstraße, the international exchange dug deep into its community chest for a roster of P.A.D. tokens and the mortgaged deeds of expatriate friends. Come with your collected ‘Go’ money and be prepared to pay a ‘luxury tax’.

P.A.D. is an art exhibition space in historic SOHO (South of Houston) District in New York City. It reflects the bustling economy of artists making, selling and promoting their artworks on the street year-round, weather permitting. The aim of the space is to platform small and editioned works by artists that are interested in embracing new contexts for exhibiting.
