ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Real Letters To The Bank

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

Real Letters To The Bank

Real Letters to The Bank Mark Greif, New York Times, 9/16/12

As a writer of letters to a fictional bank manager I was thrilled to see these very real letters to the banks reproduced in the New York Times this past weekend. Thanks to Mark Greif, N + 1, OWS and Occupy The Boardroom, and the writers of all these heartfelt letters. Click on link to see more. I propose an annual public reading of real letters to the banks, nationwide, perhaps on anniversary of the collapse of Lehmann Brothers, or Occupy. Last year I read my own fictional letters at the old Morgan Bank on Wall Street. Click here for more
