Material vs Inmaterial
Curatorial text by Martin Huberman
The Exhibition # 09 works, on an almost philosophical versus, materiality versus immateriality. On the one hand Mariano Clusellas, architect of the simple and the just, worker of the material in essence and spatial texture as the axis of dwelling and on the other Arturo Peruzzotti, also an architect, specializing in the subtle play of light management as a material to approach the human scale of space.

Project memory by Mariano Clusellas
Everything would indicate that the material condition is inherent to the construction of space, to the point that separating them, thinking of them independently, would be an impossible operation.
In this way we can think of construction as a technique, to organise and determine that material condition, a practice to transform matter.
We will approach to this definition of material, the exact opposite, immaterial. In this way, to establish a continuous relation between them, instead of being extremes of a system of valuation.
To project this relation of continuity is the motive of the work, recognising then possible ways to make of the material condition a state to be projected, and not a definition, beyond its usual conditions and rhetorics: the phenomenological, the technical, and especially the structural.

Monoambiente in memoriam
Monoambiente was born in 2012 under an ideal of counterculture, as a space of militancy where projects could cross the void to build themselves.
Since then we have been carrying out the incredible task of encouraging experimentation, research and the crossing of ideas and thus building a small place in the disciplinary plot of our region.
This journey, made possible only thanks to the enormous work of architects, designers, photographers, suppliers, sponsors and friends, has left a small mark in its way, a trace, which fortunately allows us to constantly go back and remember where we came from.
This journey literally chronicles that process between the idea and the milestone, a place to which we can return to reference the new path.
This is the foundation stone of a non-profit ideal to which we can always return.
Chacarita Forever
Monoambiente Sidewalk
In one of the interstices that used to be generated between exhibitions, we developed a cultural programme, called Vereda Monoambiente, which sought to activate the gallery during the summer months. Originally curated by Lucía Seijo, the programme used the gallery´s storefront as a modest projection screen, transforming the pavement and the immediate street into an open-air cinema. Vereda Monoambiente invited neighbours of the Barrio Los Andes and passers-by in Chacarita to get to know a little of the gallery’s militancy through a series of projections linked to the world of design.
In the summer of 2014-2015 we screened the design trilogy directed by Gary Hutswit, consisting of the documentaries Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized.
