Sergey Balovin. In-Kind Exchange
Dear friends! Addressed to all! I hope you will have 5 minutes of free time to read this. I'm sure we can be interesting to each other. In 2010, I moved to Shanghai and rented an empty apartment. I decided to save money and published an announcement that I would make portraits for anyone in exchange for something useful for my apartment. In two months there was everything for my house from candles and dishware to furniture and household appliances. Moreover, I found a mass of new friends and interesting acquaintances. I started to take photographs of all the gifts and to write down stories of people coming to me. So a comical experiment turned into the big project.
I decided to try to refuse money and began to define objects of exchange based on practicality. For travel, I suggested things that can come in handy on my way. I received a backpack and all that was necessary -- from matches and a first-aid kit to a compass and a mobile phone. Other objects of an exchange include food, clothes etc. For children people can bring something for orphanages and boarding schools. I make portraits as a fast sketch by ink. For a session -- 2-3 drawings are made, and the participant chooses one. The others remain with me. Giving, instead of drawing something utilitarian, the person confirms the importance of the artist's work. In turn, I, as the artist, emphasize the importance of each participant, representing his or her portrait and history at an exhibition. Some actions of In-Kind Exchange have already taken place in China, Russia and in the Balkans. March of 2011 in Novosibirsk, in the gallery Nepokorennye, the first exhibition about the project opened. There was a graphic installation of over a hundred portraits of participants as well as all the photos of gifts of exchange. In preparation for an exhibition of A portrait for a dinner, during which all received portraits in exchange for food, I lived in a city for one week without using money. After that I went to the Balkans, and to the subject food, I added housing for objects of exchange. I paid for everything with only portraits.
On the one hand, In-Kind Exchange experimentally proves that it is possible not only to survive, but also to live very interestingly without using money. On the other hand, the project gives the opportunity for anyone to become the owner of the work of the artist, who is independent on a financial and social status. In 2013 I plan to make a trip around-the-world travel without money, representing the project in the different countries.
I address to you because if my arrival is interesting to you, it is easy to arrange it.
What I can offer:
1. To conduct actions of In-Kind Exchange in your city, in any public place: in recreation center, in the vegetable market.
2. To open an exhibition in your museum/gallery/shed and any other place.
It is possible to only exchange without an exhibition, as well as only exhibit, or both!
What you can offer:
1. To bring me from point A (the previous city) to point B (your city) in any available way: by car/bicycle/boat or organize the ticket for a train/plane/steamship. I plan to build a route consistently so distances won't be very big.
2. To lodge me at your residence/ some other residence / in hotel / hostel
3. To write in facebook/vkontakte/schoolmates that there will be an action/exhibition of Natural Exchange and it will be.
For exchanges, 2-3 days in advance is enough for planning. For exhibitions, around one week. The more offers will arrive, the less distances will be between the next points and then, it will be easier to organize arrival to your city. Therefore I hang on your help: please, make a repost of this letter. A separate gratitude will be for a translation into any language.
Looking for Your letters on my e-mail:
