The Exchange

By  Anna Keleher 2008 - 2014

Claire Cote

The Exchange inhabits prehistoric settlements across the world. (Bronze Age roundhouses in Devon and Northern Ireland and prehistoric pueblo in New Mexico). Participants are invited to choose an object or idea to share with the original inhabitants of prehistoric settlements. Approaching an Exchange is a performative walk/experience for small groups. who engage with elements of site using a bespoke kit. After a picnic at the settlement audio recordings are made as individuals share aspects of their lives and cultures. Audio + written -http://claireandanna.com/projects/exchange/
