THE EXCHANGE ARCHIVE

a research database for projects about exchange. From unconventional dialogue to reciprocity systems, the Exchange Archive supports research about contemporary exchange practices.We aim to support artistic research by making legible the people, ideas, and materials that surround exchange-based work today.The Exchange Archive highlights connections between works.
