The Exchange
In 2006, Newlyn Art Gallery announced a major programme of works including the extension of the current building and the creation of a new art gallery in Penzance, Cornwall known as The Exchange, located on the site of the former Penzance telephone exchange building. The two galleries were designed by MUMA (McInnes Usher McKnight Architects) following an architectural design competition managed by RIBA Competitions and they opened in July 2007. Used as a project space in which artists and curators test new ideas, from The Penzance Convention held in May 2012, to Shezad Dawood’s astounding exhibition running summer 2012. A major contemporary art space, The Exchange enables audiences to see work on a scale never before accessible in the region. It is also used as a venue for live performances, film screenings and community events.

Famous quotes containing the word exchange:
“The social kiss is an exchange of insincerity between two combatants on the field of social advancement. It places hygiene before affection and condescension before all else.”
—Sunday Correspondent (London, Aug. 12, 1990)
“... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
