I ritagli stampa dedicati alle prime due edizioni di Truc-Troc a Château Malou.
1975 - « Uno strano marchingegno... Truc... Troc... Paghi in natura! »
In 1975, a press article (unreferenced newspaper) presented the Truc-Troc run for two and a half months by the Château Malou artwork lending gallery: an art "exchange" from which any financial transaction was excluded. "All you need is imagination... lots of imagination... and that should be enough to become the owner of these works." Each visitor proposed an exchange to the artist, who accepted or not.

1975 - «Divertiti al Truc-Troc»: un'opera d'arte originale in cambio del tuo «ciarpame»
A June 1975 clipping (unreferenced newspaper): "In these rotten times, who knows what to invent to keep business going. For several months now, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert has launched the good idea of renting out works of art." The article first recalls the lending gallery's principle: for a few hundred francs, anyone can hang an original print, a lithograph or even an oil painting at home, the rent being deducted from the price if the work is bought.

1975 - «Le Truc-Troc»: un buon titolo per una buona idea
