.- The 2017 J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize-winning installation The Exchange will be decommissioned over the next few days from its location at the Irwin Conference Center and then shipped to Taiwan where it has been acquired into a private collection.
This has been one of the most popular installations from our exhibitions, and while we are sad to see it go, we are delighted to see it have another significant life, said Anne Surak, Director of Exhibit Columbus. Our community really embraced this installation over the years. Weve seen it used in so many incredible ways as a workspace for Cummins employees to a backdrop for live performances, wedding photos, family portraits, and company pictures.�

Workers began the disassembly on Tuesday, and should be finished within a few days, according to Anne Surak, Exhibit Columbus director.
