Casa de Cambio appropriates the reception hall of the PinchukArtCentre. Responding directly to the recent dramatic economic crisis in Venezuela, caused by the extreme destabilisation of the Bolívar currency, as well as drawing on the Western aesthetical preoccupation with the exoticisation of cultures, the artist creates a playful, interactive environment – a space of negotiation – where questions of value, quality and authority are raised. In a volatile situation of conflicts and contradiction, the work favours a place for nostalgia, where the decorative, distracting and humorous become vital elements of daily activities and where artistic stance and statement manifest themselves through collaboration and exchange.

The installation includes videos by artists from Venezuela, Latin America and Ukraine.
