How would you give away €1,000? Street artist SpY did it two cents at a time for his newest public intervention, spelling out the word "CRISIS" on a wall in Billbao, Spain with the small copper coins. With the same wry humor that drove him to paint a sea of surveillence cameras on a discrete Madrid wall and hang a fake crescent moon over Switzerland, SpY glued Crisis to the wall lightly so people could take the euros as they passed—a not-so-gentle way to get people to interact with the public artwork. They were gone within 24 hours.
