25件交換物品公布 / 2014特別企劃 BARTER - 以物易物計畫


2014.10.9 - 10.31




2014特別企劃 BARTER - 以物易物計畫

" 以自己認為是同等價值的物品來做交換,這就是以物易物的精神 "
" 交換成功的物品最後會與交換品一同展出 "

一個嶄新具實驗性的計畫 :

1. 只接受交換,不接受買賣。
2.一個具有單純的物物關係,與呈現價值的對比的展覽呈現。

主觀價值是存在於個人心中的,貨幣只是一個易懂的衡量方式。
藉由交換的結果來反應出每個人價值認定的趣味差異。

歡迎您來一起參與!!!

10/9 (四)將公布/展出25件可供交換的部落藝術作品,
並於小巴廊FB粉絲專頁公告 -

以下為此計畫的說明:
在歐洲殖民者到來之前, 黑人發展了區域性貿易和交通。在黑非洲的地區貿易中,「物物交換」是主要形式。黑人進行物物交換時,特別講究誠實、守信,在言語不通的部落和民族之間的「啞巴交易」也是如此。

一些漂亮的貝殼和珠子做為等價物,流行於許多部落。十九世紀晚期,丁廉在東非見到: 「市裡交易,不尚銀錢,以蛤殼代。凡購辦貨物, 均屬於此。鄉人傭工於人,每日工值僅二殼或三殼。每三殼易一雞,六殼易一日糧,二殼易包穀數十枚。」在西非豪薩城邦時期,商人的通貨主要是布匹、食鹽。奴隸也被當成通貨使用。東非城邦基爾瓦則有了銅和銀製成的錢幣,上面鑄有國王哈桑的頭像。盛產銅的衣索比亞和剛果陸續出現了銅十字型貨幣。商品流通的過程中,為了知道物品的重量,在某些地方還誕生了度量衡。如盛產黃金的阿散蒂就出現了用來稱金沙的秤鉈、砝碼和陶瓷圓盤。

由此緣由,小巴廊希望用最原始的部落精神,以物品交換物品的方式,拿心目中認為同等值的品項,來體驗非洲部落交易!小巴廊會精選25件部落藝術作品作為交換的品項,並展示於小巴廊內與公布於小巴廊臉書。www.facebook.com/44GALLERY

The project description:
Before the arrival of European colonists, blacks developed a regional trade and transport. In Black Africa region , " barter " is the main trading form . Honest and trust are emphasized. The "dumb trade " between tribes and other nations is the same idea.

Regarding the beautiful shells and beads as equivalents is popular in many tribes .
The late nineteenth century , Ding Lian has found a trading form in East Africa : the goods are being traded without money but shells. Any kind of business deal belongs to this form. Workers earn two or three shells a day. Three shells equal to a chicken, six shells equal to one-day food. Two shells equal to ten corns. In West Africa, business man traded with clothes, salt even the slaves while in East Africa, the city Kilwa had copper and silver coins casted with the head of King Hasan. Ethiopia and Congo abound with copper ,as a result of it, they came out the cross-shaped copper currency. In order to know the weight of the goods, some places came out the measurement. Such as the gold-rich Ashanti kingdom appeared the ceramic discs, counterpoise and sliding weight of a steelyard for weighing gold sand.

Therefore, 44 gallery wants to use the most primitive spirit of tribe, it is a way of exchange by which goods are directly exchanged for other goods , and you considered themselves to be equal value items to exchange to experience the African tribes trading.
