1992 - "Truc-Troc": second edition, with an "Artists' Studios Fund"

On 18 December 1992, Le Soir devoted a new article by Martine Duprez to the second edition of Art-Pool's "Truc-Troc", the artwork exchange fair where money and cheques are banned. "Barter is not based on the financial value of the work but on falling in love with it," explains Françoise Laurent, a member of Art-Pool, while Mon De Rijck, one of the founders, urges the public "to put their imagination to work".

New this year: the Truc-Troc exhibition is paired with an "Artists' Studios Fund", allowing anyone who missed a deal at the Truc-Troc to rummage through the innards of artists' studios and acquire one of their works. Open until 27 December 1992, by appointment, with opening hours on Fridays and Saturdays.
