Stereotank – Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente
Opening June 10th, 4pm / until August 5th
Stereotank is a design studio founded by Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente, dedicated to the research and exploration of the common grounds between architecture, art and sound. The studio works as a laboratory for design and creation of architectural artifacts, immersive installations, hybrid objects and instruments often using repurposed materials and pre-fab systems. Stereotank focus is to re-invent program with existing resources, with the aim of looking at old things with a fresh eye, relying on simplicity and intuition. Understanding urban scape as the medium, one of the main interests at this scale is the activation of public space through the insertion of participatory projects that engage, entertain and educate the users.
Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente, propose a new site-specific sound installation at Largo do Trovador, in Guimarães. At CAAA gallery, there will be a retrospective exhibition about their work.

After conducting a design studio about the common territories between architecture and music at the same school, they moved to New York to pursue a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University graduating with honors in 2007. They currently live and work in Miami.
