Pezo von Ellrichshausen: No More, No Less / 15-10 - 25-10

 

10/10/2016

The exhibition No More, No Less by Chilean art and architecture studio Pezo von Ellrichshausen will open on Saturday, 15 of October 2016, in Oris House of Architecture at 7 p. m.

The exhibition No More, No Less by the architecture office Pezo von Ellrichshausen sets to examine the issues revolving around the exhibiting of architecture, that is to say, the inherent inability of architecture as a discipline to exhibit an experience of space.

Within the space of an actual gallery, in scale 1:10, they set a model of a fictitious exhibition space. The exhibiting is traditionally mediated with different modes of representation – sketches, plans, photography or, as it was the case here, models.

Pezo von Ellrichshausen, winners of Americas' Mies van der Rohe Award, is an art and architecture studio established in Concepcion, southern Chile, in 2002 by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen. They have been the curators of the Chilean Pavilion at the 2008 Venice Biennale and teach regularly in Chile at the Universidad Catolica and in USA at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

They have been visiting professors at The University of Texas (Austin, 2011-14) and at Cornell University (New York, 2009). Their work has been distinguished with the Mies Crown Hall Americas Emerge Prize by the IIT (Chicago, 2014), the Rice Design Alliance Prize (Houston, 2012), the V Iberoamerican Architecture Biennial Award (Montevideo, 2006) and the XV Chilean Architecture Biennial Award (Santiago, 2006). The work of the studio has been edited in monographic issues of A+U (Tokyo, 2013), 2G (Barcelona, 2012) and ARQ (Santiago, 2007) and exhibited at the International Architecture Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia (Venice, 2010), at the Royal Academy of Arts (London, 2014) and as part of the Permanent Collection at the MoMA (New York, 2014).
