In the priceless paintings of Klimt, showers of gold settle eternally around mythical women. They sell for record prices at auction. In Coin Drop No. 3 at Westlake Center Mall, the metallic shower lasts only a second before street kids dive on the scattered pocket change that has come spilling out of a weak cardboard box. It's about 75 dollars in change, and the artists behind the sudden explosion are PDL (Jason Puccinelli, Jed Dunkerley, and Greg Lundgren). There are ancient themes: money and art; and contemporary themes: the heightened fear of a mysterious burst of noise in a public square. Coin Drop No. 2 happened in the atrium at Pacific Place. Imagine the clarity of the sound, and the pleasant friendliness of shoppers immediately setting aside their bags to help recover every lost penny. At Westlake Center, the kids and beggars walked off with the bulk of the booty. Nobody in either place saw any art in the money.
