About the artist

Performance 19.th of may 2010, Oslo, Norway. Locations : In front of Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo Stock Exchange and Forex Exchange Bureau at Oslo Central Train Station.

Integrated on the concept of the exhibition “Lucid Dreams” the artist, Wolf Wolfsmoon, continues his roll play as the Director of the No-Euro-Bank, founded on the 1st January 2002.

Aware of the new financial problems which are crossing the EU, the mission of No-Euro-Bank is to save the Euro currency. Therefore, Wolfsmoon is doing a performance where he is going to repaint Euros with the Norwegian Kroner sign and adds his bankdirector name Wolf-ram to it. At the same day, the press released the news, that Germany was banning naked short-selling at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Performance 19. 5. 2010, Bankplassen i Oslo, foran Museet for Samtidskunst.

Som Wolf-Ram, fortsetter billedkunstneren Wolf Schaefer Wolfsmoon sitt rollespill som No-Euro-Bank direktør.  Wolf-Ram integrerer seg i konseptet gjennom den pågående utstillingen “Lucid Dreams“ på Galleri KHKoslo.

Ved åpningen av NO-EURO-Banken den 1.1.2002, dagen da den nye valutaen EURO ble innført i den Europeiske Union, overmalte Wolfsmoon en serie av norske sedler fra Kroner til Euro og signerte med bankdirektørnavnet Wolf-Ram.

EU’s nye Europroblemer har inspirert drømmevisualisereren Wolfsmoon til å overmale en ny serie penger. For å støtte Euroen, overmaler nå Wolfsmoon eller Wolf-Ram, bokstavene EURO på en serie Eurosedler med ordet  Kroner.

Denne symbolske handlingen gjenspeiler også borgeren Wolfsmoon, som har gått fra å være EU borger til norsk statsborger.

Etter signeringen av den nye NO-EURO-BANK valutaen, bærer det videre til vekslingskontorene på Oslo S for en presentasjon av banken samt konkurranseprat med kolleger.

Siste del av Lucid Dream performancen NO-EURO-BANK finner sted på Galleri KHKoslo, Herlebsgt 14, hvor kunstneren åpner sin NO-EURU-BANK  i hovedinngangen til galleri KHKoslo, som for anledningen er en multimedial skriftestol.

Info No-Euro-Bank
 

On the 1st of January 2002 the new currency EURO was introduced to several countries in the European community.
Norway is as integrated in European policy and economy as any non-member State can be. Therefore, more and more guidelines of the European community are introduced, in order to make a good cooperation possible and sustainable.
The virtual main seat of the NO-EURO-Bank (NEB) is the former Norwegian National Bank, which is now the Museum of Contemporary Art in Oslo, Norway.
During the opening ceremony of the NEB, the artist Wolf-Ram - in his position of Director of the NEB - issued a limited edition of ten hundred Kroner bills bearing the signature Wolf-Ram.

The word Kroner was painted over and replaced by the word Euro. The bills were dated and signed by Wolf-Ram.

TEURO
During the European Biennial for Contemporary Art, the MANIFESTA, as a part of the Free Manifesta by Sal Randolph, Wolf-Ram did a performance together with the dog Teuro (a Saint Bernard). The dog was named upon the word Teuro which has been introduced by the German minister Kuenast on his previous anti Teuro summit. Together, Wolf-Ram and the dog guarded the European Central Bank in Frankfurt-Main. While doing so, they were stopped by the security personnel and asked for their identification. During that action Wolf-Ram and the dog were separated.

WANTED
Because of the dogs disappearance, WolfRam was starting a search for his Teuro with a wanted poster.
 

EXCHANGE BUREAU
During the MANIFESTA, Wolf-Ram changed foreign currency into Euro by painting the bills over. He also signed and dated the bills. This event took place at the Frankfurt Art Association. In Kassel, during the Documenta 11, Wolf-Ram opened up his exchange bureau in several places as well.
In cooperation with the Documenta team of the artist Hirschhorn (Bataille Monument) he gave an interview for the local Tv channel in Kassel. At the same time he painted over more bills from 15 different nations belonging to the present spectators.

 TEURO

   30th of may 2002 Frankfurt/Main, Germany

 

 After introducing the currency “EURO” in Europe many business people started the forcing up of prices. Since they were counting on the laziness of customers to convert the old currency into the new one.

The definition”TEURO” stands for a very unfair increase of prices. “TEURO” is also the name of the Swiss rescue dog (St.Bernard) which accompanied Wolf-ram on the 30th of may 2002 during a performance of guarding the Europian Central Bank in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.

This performance was a part of the www.freemanifesta.org.
