Politics of Exchange is a collaborative project conceived by husband and wife Ortiz and Maldonado and was first exhibited in 2017 at the Cecille R. Hunt Gallery at Webster University, St. Louis, Missouri.

Politics of Exchange explores the relationship between ownership, property, use and disposability. It is a reflection about the object, both as a discarded element and as an element of beauty. The exhibition is also about how an entire country can be treated as an object whose political, ideological, and economic situations are the fruit and consequence of a stream of failing policies imposed during the twentieth century with the purpose of serving as an experiment for social theories of health, economics, and population control.

This project is an observation of Puerto Rico’s political and economic panorama. A Carribbean island committed to the idea of the American Dream, Puerto Rico has been deprived of both freedom of choice and inclusion in the attainment of that dream.

CLASH OF THE TITANS follows Zeus’s mortal son Perseus, who discovers his destiny to rescue and marry beautiful princess Andromeda, but only after passing a series of perilous tests. Over-the-top and relentlessly entertaining, this adventure features an exceptional cast and enough face-offs to fill a movie twice its length. But the real star of the show is special effects wizard Ray Harryhausen, whose eye-popping stop-motion animation brings to life such creatures as snake-haired Medusa, winged horse Pegasus, and, of course, the giant, tentacled Kraken.
