Capitalism Works for Me! True/ False

American artist Steve Lambert invited the public to engage with one of the 21st century's most discussed hot topics by voting True or False to the phrase "Capitalism works for me!" Set amidst the bustle of Times Square in the form of a massive, attention-grabbing, illuminated scoreboard, the piece created the ultimate public forum for one of today's most complicated and contested issues.

"In the United States, starting a conversation about Capitalism throws red flags," says Lambert. "Simultaneously, capitalism is discussed daily in euphemisms like 'jobs', 'the business climate' and whatever 'crisis' is deemed relevant. The economic system is rarely a topic of discussion - much less of alternatives or meaningful reform. This is what art is for, what art does well. It creates a space where new ideas and perspectives can be explored. A space unlike any other."
