Puedes ver aqui las ediciones limitadas y los precios.

El jueves 3 de abril a partir de las 19h30 se inaugura The Architecture Gallery, un concepto de galería dedicado a obras de arquitectos y artistas trabajando entorno a la arquitectura. Tiene como singularidad ser una galería solidaria : se asigna un 20% de los beneficios de cada obra vendida a proyectos de arquitectura social. Su otra singularidad reside en ser una galería itinerante, que viaja a diferentes ciudades para presentar las obras y los proyectos sociales.

Representa arquitectos, interioristas, diseñadores y artistas de diferentes nacionalidades, que crean piezas en formatos que van desde fotografía, ilustración y pintura al diseño de mobiliario pasando por piezas volumétricas.
La galería ofrece originales y series limitadas, en ocasiones editadas por la misma.

En esta primera presentación colectiva exponen 12 creadores, tanto nacionales como internacionales : Enric Miralles/ EMBT (Barcelona) , Raumlabor (Berlin) , Santiago Cirugeda (Sevilla) , Assemble Studio (Londres), Collectif etc (Marsella), Simona Rota (Madrid), Adría Goula (Barcelona), Pilar
Líbano (Barcelona), Esther Planas (Londres), Anna Bach (Barcelona), Cadelasverdes (A Coruña) y Edouard Decam (Barcelona – Burdeos).

En esta ocasión, las ventas apoyarán el proyecto Comunidad Vivex*, una Asociación Civil iniciativa de S-AR (un taller colaborativo de arquitectura con base en Monterrey, México) cuyo objetivo es acercar la arquitectura y sus procesos de diseño, planeación y trabajo social a familias
de escasos recursos, comunidades marginadas o proveer de infraestructura básica a instituciones que brindan apoyo social.

Hermeneutics

Exhibition: Hermeneutics of a room 房间解释学;
Work: Big Exit
Opening: 1st of March 2014, 16:00h
Venue: Intelligentsia Gallery, Dong Wang Hutong #11 Dong Cheng District, Beijing
Artists: Meng Zhigang (Guilin, 1975), Simona Rota (Mäcin, 1979), Matjaz Tancic (Ljubljana, 1982), James Ronner (New York, 1979), and Camille Ayme (St Etienne, 1983)
Curated by Garcia Frankowski

“In Simona Rota’s photographic series Big Exit the dualistic relationship between domestic space and the corporeal sheds light on hermeneutical readings of containment and inhabitation. Performative self-portraits in an apartment, her photographs capture instants of dynamic tension between the body and the space that contains it, providing reciprocal protagonism in a visual struggle for dominance and capitalization. ”  (Garcia Frankowski)
