Art Truc Troc 2012

From January 27 to January 29, Bozar hosted Art Truc Troc, Belgium's largest contemporary art exhibition. The idea behind Truc Troc is that participating artists can exchange their artwork for goods or services offered by visitors.

At the entrance, post-its were handed out so people could write down their (decent and indecent) proposals and stick them next to the artwork they liked.

It is now up to the artists to pick their favorite proposals and exchange the pieces of art.
