(*casting out the nines is a mathematical method to ensure that sums, differences, products, and quotients are correct.)

LETS is a ‘local exchange trading system’, allowing people to exchange services and goods without the use of money. For Casting out the nines, Italian Anna Rispoli develops a mini-LETS, in which she examines the flexibility of the system. The performance takes part on two evenings, with two different emphases. Spending the hour (Tuesday February 14) focuses on an illustrative approach of LETS, Paying it back (Wednesday February 15) rather looks at the what the system means for the artist. The audience can buy a ticket, but LETS adepts can also offer some sort of service to STUK or Anna Rispoli.

Anna Rispoli was born in the North of Italy but lives and works in Brussels. In her visual work and performances, she explores the conceptual and aesthetic options that are possible between the public space and the private territory.
