"Exchange Point" is an interactive public art project produced by Israeli artist Tamar Hirschl. The exhibition requires viewer participation; visitors are invited to remove and keep any of the inventoried items on display in the work for re-use, and to donate items of their own. By asking viewers to interact with discarded objects, "Exchange Point" initiates a conversation about the relationship of a disposable economy to both the environment and the practice of making art.
