Exchange 2006
LOOKING FOR VENUES TO HOST AN EXCHANGE EVENT
For More Information: PDF; Word.doc
Exchange 2006 (blogged here yesterday) is a cross-border art performance combining surveillance technology, a full-size transport truck, and all Nancy Nisbet's personal belongings. The project launches in Vancouver, Canada on May 1, 2006. "In this sustained performance, my belongings are inventoried, ID tagged and freely traded with individuals encountered during a six month road-trip circumnavigating Canada, the United States and Mexico. Using cultural resistance, this art project unsettles relationships between international politics, technological surveillance, and identity construction.
"Exchange Events" are fully contained, coordinated and collaborative events with galleries and other institutions/venues along the trip route. The performance takes place directly out of a full size 18-wheel transport truck. The event is intended to be like an "opening / swapmeet". I am looking for venues that can provide space to park the transport truck, local event announcements, and some assistance during the event. I am available to speak about the project and related issues if desired."
EXCHANGE Route Cities and Dates (some flexibility). NB. Route and dates are only scheduled until Mid-August (Miami) at this time. The Mexican and West US coast portions of the trip will be scheduled in March, 2006.
