LIGA 33: AMUNÁTEGUI VALDÉS.
COMPENDIUM
The upcoming exhibition at LIGA is in charge of Amunátegui Valdés, a Chilean duo that works from Santiago de Chile and Los Angeles, California. The architects Cristobal Amunátegui and Alejandro Valdés produce a broad range of projects in different scales and media, including furniture design, exhibits, buildings, writing and lectures. A dialogue between architectural history and contemporary culture is a central focus point of their practice.
LIGA 33 by Amunátegui Valdés, is entitled “Compendium” and explores configurations in which architecture neither designs nor composes, but rather organizes and assembles the material world to mediate between humans, technique and nature. It takes clues from historical references such as tabernacles, cabinets, miniatures and mobile shrines, to investigate juxtapositions of elements as a way to create environments of meaning and experience. The project is planned to open in the fall, in presence of both architects.
For the moment, LIGA is open to the public (by appointment only) to visit the exhibition LIGA 32 “Shameless Copy” by the brazilian firm Terra e Tuma.
