Scar mountain range

Curatorial text by Martin Huberman

Exhibition 06 crosses the Andes Mountains, and sets foot in Santiago de Chile, to give shape to Monoambiente’s first international exhibition. The exhibition is a tension between the potency of the mountain range as a physical frontier in contrast to its dissipation as a cultural frontier in the face of the powerful crossroads of information that exists today, allowing for exchange, share and enhance the encounter.

On the one hand we invited The Andes House studio, whose work forges a fundamental link with material experimentation in the development of a vast catalogue of objects for the home, and on the other Cristóbal Palma, one of the continent’s most renowned architectural photographers, through whose lens the most outstanding works of recent years have passed.

The Andes House makes the process a permeable system that can be moved and thus break the distance that separates the studio from the gallery where the work unfolds to take over the space. The piece is at the same time reminiscent of that which separates us, the mountain range, bending the sense of the border towards that which also unites us. Paso shelters us in a sort of flag or court cloth that contains those who brandish it and make it a place of belonging. Palma ventures into the world of objects through a piece constructed in neon that attempts against the meaninglessness of the multiplication of self-referential images that flood the social networks.

Side B

Montajes [Production and installation of the exhibition] is a series of videos on the processes of constructing the space; it tracks the efforts made in the production of the pieces that have intervened in the Monoambiente gallery space.

The video shows the process of producing PASO the piece designed and produced by The Andes House, a Chilean studio that crossed the Andes, becoming infected with its peaks and colors. The journey culminated in an exhibition in Buenos Aires in conjunction with Soy una foto [I Am a Photo], a neon object that photographer Cristobal Palma developed with a local glass artisan as a sort of self-referential manifesto. The video is also an act of international collaboration that unifies, by means of an audiovisual narrative, production processes on both sides of the Andean mountains.

Direction: Carlos Molina & Martin Huberman

Special thanks to Celeste Bernardini from La Feliz, for her collaboration with the installation of the pieces.
