Collections of Argentine coins and bills which reflect the ups and downs of the country's economy are being exposed in the Numismatic Museum of the Argentine Central Bank; next to these collections there is the hall for itinerant exhibitions. From the devaluation of the Argentine Peso on, the idea of making a site-specific contemporary art show has been negotiated for more than 8 months. The show project consists of compositions made out of national and international coins and bills, leather and other materials which would be exhibited in the hall's glass showcases. The invitations have been already printed and the catalogue is at the printer's when the President of the Argentine Central Bank censures the show considering it as "inadequate for the context". The impossibility to show the material in the real world leads to the making of a flash animation in order to open the show in a virtual manner in www.sitearte.com, a virtual gallery.
