A Column is a System Exhibition

Monoambiente画廊邀请了三家机构——纽约的Storefront for Art and Architecture、墨西哥城的LIGA以及蒙特利尔的加拿大建筑中心——共同策划一场展览，旨在促进美洲南北之间当代建筑与实践的对话。展览“柱即系统”同时在墨西哥和阿根廷两国举办：布宜诺斯艾利斯的Monoambiente画廊于7月23日率先开幕，而LIGA的展区则在一周后启动。来自蒙特雷的S-AR工作室设计的两个装置，分别安装于南北半球，相隔7000公里，却呈现出一个重叠的单一叙事。

在开幕前一周，S-AR的César Guerrero和Ana Cecilia Garza在阿根廷建筑事务所Oficios Asociados主持了一个为期三天的工作坊，通过简短的自行建造练习来生成实践知识与直接经验，涉及建造、材料、空间、再现与诠释，以及通过不同材料、工具和连接系统的实验实现自支撑结构。作为工作坊的一部分和展览的前奏，S-AR还在建筑师聚会场所Monte 153C举办了一场公开讲座。开幕前夜，Monte 153C又举办了由PRODUCTORA工作室的Carlos Bedoya Ikeda和Victor Jaime主讲的讲座，参与方包括LIGA、Monoambiente与S-AR及阿根廷事务所Adamo-Faiden的对话。

Monoambiente invited three institutions to take over the space and to work and develop an exhibition of their choice that will generate a dialogue between the institutions, contemporary architecture and practices from North to South America. The invited institutions are: Storefront for Art and Architecture (New York, USA), Liga , Espacio Para Arquitectura DF, (Mexico DF, Mexico), and the Canadian Center for Architecture, (Montreal, Canada).

The aim is to focus and challenge experimental architecture, creating new networks between all agents involved in the discipline. Monoambiente constantly changes its stream of activities lead by participating institutions that host an exhibition or a public program of their choosing, engaging in groundbreaking architectural practice and discussing the role and relationship of institutions throughout America.

‘Una Columna es un Sistema’ (A Column is a System) takes place simultaneously in two countries: Mexico and Argentina. Monoambiente gallery, in Buenos Aires, hosts the first part of this exhibition starting from July 23, and LIGA inaugurated its section one week later. Both works, by the architects from Monterrey S-AR, simultaneously installed in two different hemispheres, present a single discourse that overlaps across a distance of 7,000 km.

During the week prior to the opening at Monoambiente, César Guerrero and Ana Cecilia Garza from S-AR studio (Mexico) held a three-day workshop at Oficios Asociados, an Argentine architecture firm. The aim of the workshop was to generate practical knowledge and direct experience by means of a brief and self-constructed exercise. The topics addressed included construction, material, space, representation and interpretation, and self-supporting structures through experimentation with different materials, tools, and systems that join them.

In the framework of the workshop and as a prelude to the opening of the show, S-AR held a public conference at Monte 153C, a gathering place for architects and venue for study, debate and communication on topics related to architecture and urban studies envisioned as cultural practices (located in Chacarita, Monte 153C was founded by Pablo Gerson and Florencia Rodríguez, who are its directors).

The night before the opening, Monte 153C also hosted a conference given by Carlos Bedoya Ikeda and Victor Jaime from PRODUCTORA studio (Mexico). Participants in that event included LIGA and Monoambiente in conversation with S-AR and Adamo-Faiden (Argentina), firms that worked on both exhibition venues.
