"Barnwell succeeds in forcing viewers to consider
what the dollar says about the U.S...."

Lauren Weinberg, Time Out Chicago, January 8, 2009


"Barnwell doesn't see money art as about money, itself. Instead, he sees it as a way to appropriate power by stealing the language of power. He sees it as a language by which to criticize the social systems surrounding the icons."
Adelia Ganson, Review Magazine, March 17, 2010


"Barnwell's political graphics are truly stunning.
They are important additions to this unique archive."

Carol A. Wells, Executive Director
Center for the Study of Political Graphics, Los Angeles, CA


"Stephen Barnwell's work with money functions as social critique
and utopian fantasy....it mocks the value it portrays."

Keith Miller, Curator, Moving Money

 

"Fed up with rising national debt, Stephen Barnwell decided to bail out America last week .... Part tongue in cheek and part sounding bells to alert lawmakers to what Barnwell believes is a perilous amount of debt, the dollars are part of a growing movement of using art for activism."
Ambreen Ali, Congress.org, July 21, 2010
