Greene's project Service-Works gives a monthly grant to an artist's project. Once a month, on an ongoing basis (sixteen months so far by January, 2008), Greene awards one night's wages in tips that he earns at a high-end restaurant as a waiter to an artist's project of his choosing. This amount per project has ranged from $110.00 to $450.00. Each artist must apply for the Service Works grant, and the project usually involves some sort of social interaction. The projects have ranged from the political, like a kindergarten class writing speeches for George W. Bush and then being read by the Bush impersonator from JibJab in the "$256 project," and a karaoke session in a public park of a political speech in the "$235 project," to the socially conscious, like the volunteer work provided in the "$230 project," the cat supplies purchased in the "$110 project," and to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina in the "$450 project," to the cathartic like the venting and tearing of paper in the "$300 project.Service-Works" Service-Works has been in a few shows (Yerba Buena and at Hunter College), and has been the subject of articles in the San Francisco Weekly, and in Dwell Magazine.http://www.dwell.com/peopleplaces/profiles/4992971.html Dwell
