Comfort and space to explore
Texto curatorial por Martin Huberman
Curator / Moderator
Like a design process, the Monoambiente curator found a working logic, as the four episodes carried out during 2012 passed.
It is in this period that the idea of curatorship mutated from the solitary action of the “curator” to working together with each of the parties involved in each exhibition.
This is how a functional tool was born, inherited from the design workshop itself, as if it were a work table where creations are born, live and develop from collaboration, discussion and, above all, dialogue.
It is in the commitment to this exchange of ideas that, in my opinion, lies the creative potential that Monoambiente seeks to exhibit.
I think then that in this second year of exhibitions, it is interesting to put aside the self-imposed curator’s metier, and adopt the work of the moderator, ordering the development of the year under a guiding idea to work on each exhibition:
Space & the Object.
The exhibitions are therefore conceived as a staging of a dialogue between two classic actors in the evolution of the disciplines of design, on the one hand the Space as a frame or stage and on the other the Object as an inhabitant.
It is on this binomial that the exhibitions of the year will work, a spatial development, an objectual construction and the inevitable relationship between the two in a studio apartment on the street in the neighbourhood of Chacarita.
Under this guiding principle, the duos that will design each of this year’s exhibitions were selected, proposing to potentially move them away from common places or armed systems that each one has constructed in the course of their work, to force them to grow towards new horizons.
The cycle intervenes in the comfort zone of different design professionals by inviting them to do what they don’t usually do. On the one hand, the rehearsal seeks to ponder the gallery as a laboratory of formal explorations where the invited offices can expand their stylistic language while building new links with other areas that can nourish their work in the future.
