This work marks a continuation of Lineberry's Rubberbandwidth series, where objects - typically small statues - are wrapped in Rainbow Loom rubber bands. The rubber bands are often attached using what the artist describes as an "erratic weave." While the underlying object remains static, the rubber bands break over time, leaving a unique pattern of detritus attached to the object. Interested buyers may choose between different pricing options, depending on whether they would like to have the object re-wrapped in rubber bands, and how many times.

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.
