book barter, 2003
colectivo cambalache
Theirs
is a series of “works in progress” originating from
the streets of Bogotà: socially rooted artistic activity
including the MUSEO DE LA CALLE. Cambalache questions absolute material
values, proposing a non-monetary form of interchange in which no
value is given to economic power but to the people themselves taking
part in the exchange.


The group shows a collection of small photographs
taken during their previous experiences of bartering in public places
as well as around the local barrios of Latin America. This accompanies
a public book exchange in which the general public can take part
held in the train station of Modena.
