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".
