an international performance exchange in response to the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

Exchange Rate: 2008 was an international performance exchange organized by artist Elana Mann in response to the 2008 U.S. presidential election. In all, thirty-eight artists living in sixteen different countries participated in the project. With the aid of the project website exchangerate2008.com, participating artists produced, exchanged, and interpreted performance directions related to the election campaign. This series of performances mirrored and confronted the pageantry of the political campaigns of both candidates and highlighted artists who are challenging the politics of today.
