Created by Rafi Ghanaghounian, Anna Pantchev and James Gauvreau is this thought provoking art piece reflecting the economic crisis titled, 'All That Glitters' at the Keep 6c in Toronto, Canada.
Featuring several piggy banks with glitter against a scenery of wall street, 'All That Glitters' explores the idea of people gaining and losing money, and how the good times can screech to a halt and become empty, as was indicated by the smashed piggy banks coated inside with glitter.
There were an abundance of meanings and ideas in the piece. Unfortunately, last night was the final day to see the 'All that Glitters' exhibit since Rafi Ghanaghounian is closing the gallery to pursue opportunities in NYC. Keep 6c will be missed.
