"I AM NOT TERRORIZED" STAMP SOURCE: ARTIST DAVID GREG HARTH

Timothy Grat writes: "Thank you again for another fascinating installment
of The E-Sylum. I wanted to comment and pass on information about a recent
article.  I first saw the "I Am Not Terrorized" bills displayed at the
booth of J.S.G. Boggs (who, I can imagine, several of your readers are
familiar with) at the F.U.N. show in 2002. I may have unknowingly believed
these to be the work of Boggs for years now.  When I searched the pieces,
I came across an article published back in 2001, which details the artist,
and a show he did with J.S.G. Boggs, which would explain the mix up. Here
is a link to that article."

[Here are a couple excerpts from the article in the St. Petersburg
Times. -Editor]

"New York artist David Greg Harth, 26, really knows the value of a
dollar. Since the events of Sept. 11, Harth has used money and rubber
stamps to print his messages to the world: "I am not afraid." "I am
not terrorized."

"Several of these specialized dollar bills will be on display in "Life
and Liberty: To Honor the Victims of September 11th." As a venue in St.
Petersburg's annual First Night celebration, the art show is open to
the public from 6 p.m. to midnight on Monday, New Year's Eve.

"Organized at the request of the Tampa Bay art community, gallery owner
Tiffani Szilage and actor/producer Megan Brown have focused the show on
artists' reactions to the events of 9/11.

"Harth, who lives 20 blocks from the Twin Towers, was inspired by
first-hand experience.

"Money seemed a natural medium (and one Harth has used in the past),
since it moves quickly among so many people. Messages are printed in
red or black ink on bills with denominations ranging from $1 to $100.
With $80,000 in marked bills already in circulation, the artist is
well on his way to his goal of $100,000."
