Exhibición colectiva.
2019.
Kirkland Gallery, Harvard GSD.

Translated from AD: 'A quien corresponda' is an exhibition at the Kirkland Gallery at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, which emerges as a call within a call. Being aware of the scarcity of opportunities for exhibition and appreciation of design in Mexico, an open invitation was extended to practices dedicated to architecture, design and/or art interested in showing their work in an area of 0.0588m2 (the area of a sheet of paper) within the gallery space, taking advantage of the opportunity to appropriate the gallery over a period of two weeks.

The call offers a physical space abroad, which questions exclusivity as a tool for legitimising creative disciplines, as well as the role of institutions and their validation of trajectories and opportunities. Convinced of the importance of having a larger body of participants, discourse and work by professionals not directly related to the university, the intention of the call was to promote its dissemination and overflowing reach, making it reach as many interested parties and participants as possible.

Our contribution:
The top right image shows one of the belltowers of the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Luis Potosí, built from the year 1670 to 1730. The cylindrical pieces that cover the exterior surfaces of a pavillion in Casa GC are a direct reference to the traditional manufacture and application of pink limestone in the region. A letter size print of this spread was sent directly to Inés and Edgar for its display at Kirkland Gallery in April of 2019.
