Ruilen [rœylə(n)]
At Mediamatic Fabriek visitors can swap their haves, time and talents. The exhibition also features artworks by artists with an interest in no-money exchange. For example, Lina Issa invites you to swap your life for hers (see the ad below), and Maria Mavridou and Sayaka Akitsu will create spontaneous performances in the exhibition space inspired by exchange. Time Divisia, a longterm exchange project between prisoners from Mexico City and the artist Antonio Vega Macotela, shows a more conditioned situation in which no-money exchange takes place.
Every Sunday afternoon we're organizing exchange-events. The first one is a collaboration with Ruilplein, and takes place on October 21 from 14:00 to 17:00. On November 4 we're swapping seeds, and hold on to your unwanted Christmas presents, because we're organizing an event for those as well.
