Teuro

 

30th of may 2002 Frankfurt-Main, Germany

After introducing the currency “EURO” in Europe, many business people started forcing up the prices, as they were expecting some laziness of their customers, to convert the old currency into the new one. The definition”TEURO” stands for a very unfair increase of prices.

During the European Biennail for Contemporary Art – the MANIFESTA – as a part of the Free Manifesta by Sal Randolph, Wolf-Ram did a performance with the dog Teuro (a Saint Bernard). 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.
