Detrás de las Cosas, 1995.
In 2005 he opened the Estancia Art Center in Caracas, an initiative of the national company Petroleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) for the promotion of design and photography. The center opened with a national exhibition on the production of industrial design in the country: “Behind the Things: Industrial Design in Venezuela”, curated by Architect Alberto Sato and Ignacio Urbina Polo.
The design and museography of this exhibition was a collaboration project with the architect Marcel Erminy and aimed to show objects designed and manufactured in the country, in the spaces of a colonial house in the city of Caracas. A sort of showcase with an undulating band showed small objects in the center of the main hall. Almost a hundred products wrapped up this exhibition, the largest exhibition on industrial design ever made in Venezuela.
