2014年的ElRanchito项目围绕着一个古老的礼物交换仪式展开，这个仪式是由美国太平洋沿岸的部落举行的，被称为“土豆交换仪式”(Potlatch)。

2014年，埃尔兰奇托将举行一场晚宴。在工作开始之前，所有的艺术家都将收到一份礼物，其中包含了所有必要的工具，以便在马德里的马塔迪罗湾16号安顿下来。

El Ranchito 2014 will kick off with a potlatch. Before work starts, all the artists will receive a gift containing all the necessary tools to settle into Bay 16 of the Matadero in Madrid.

这件礼物，体积大，重量轻，安装在轮子上，便于运输，因此艺术家们可以在未来几周探索海湾，为他们选择合适的地点。一旦他们找到了那个地方，他们就可以部署他们的礼物，并使用包装来容纳他们的工作空间，无论哪种方式适合他们的幻想和需要。

This gift, large and light and mounted on wheels, is easy to transport, so artists can explore the bay to choose the right spot for them for the coming weeks. Once they have found that spot, they can deploy their gift and use the wrapping to house their workspace in whichever way suits their fancy and needs.

波特拉奇！系统围绕构成礼品包的四个主要要素：

The Potlatch! System revolves around four main elements that make up the gift package:

首先是礼品包装。它由六个可展开的温室组成，每个温室1.50x0.75×2.05米。他们的基础是铰链，以便可以安排不同的空间配置，从一个完整的温室墙，孤立的隔断或曲折的条带。温室将不同的工作区域分开，同时提供储存空间和照明(其中一些温室的结构安装了灯)。

First, the gift wrapping. It is formed by six unfurlable greenhouses, of 1.50 x 0.75 x 2.05 m each. Their bases are hinged so that different spatial configurations can be arranged, from an unbroken wall of greenhouses to isolated partitions or zigzagging strips. The greenhouses separate the different work areas, while at the same time providing storage space and lighting (some of them have lights fitted to their structure).

其次是刚性模块。礼物中的最后一个单元具有与温室相同的几何形状，但它是在中密度纤维板中建造的，因此它可以用作刚性垂直面板(作为展台或布告板)，也可以作为工作表面，将其放置在地面上。底部包括一个储藏柜。

Secondly, there is the rigid module. The last unit of the elements in the gift has the same geometry as the greenhouses, but it is built in MDF, so it can be used as a rigid vertical panel (as a display stand or notice board) or else as a work surface by laying it down on the ground. A storage cabinet is included at the bottom.

第三，三轮车。一旦温室被折叠和桌子已经建立，三轮车被用来运输包装在海湾周围，直到找到适当的位置。

Thirdly, the tricycle. Once the greenhouses have been folded and the table has been erected, the tricycle is used to transport the package around the bay until the appropriate location is found.

最后，这些东西。礼物中包含了所有必不可少的停留工具，包括灯、椅子、杯子、衣架、小地毯、一些植物、一个浇水罐、一个阅读指南，最重要的是，还有一个吊床，这些吊床将悬挂在海湾的结构上，供午睡之用。

Finally, the stuff. The gift contains all the essential tools for the stay, including lights, chairs, cups, clothes hangers, a small rug, some plants, a watering can, a reading guide and, most importantly, a hammock, which shall be hung from the structure of the bay, for the siestas.

所有的温室都可以相互连接。该系统允许不同的配置“改善”16：孤立的地带，一个封闭的开放空间，有几个专业领域的个人工作，居民之间的一次性联系，等等。这些住宅的部分目的是让参与者设计他们的同居空间，并尝试这个空间。最后，该项目包括一个会议空间、一个休息区和一个就餐和准备一杯茶的区域，尽可能多地使用以前版本“兰奇托”中的回收元素。

All the greenhouses can be interconnected. The system allows different configurations to ‘improve’ Bay 16: isolated strips, a secluded area of the open space with several specialist areas for individual work, one-off associations between residents, etc. Part of the aim of these residencies is to get participants to design their cohabitation space and try the space out. Lastly, the project includes a meeting space, a rest area and an area to have meals and prepare a cup of tea, using as many recycled elements from previous editions of El Ranchito as has been possible.

该项目的战略和物质方面都存在若干制约因素。一方面，需要能够拆解和折叠整个集会，使艺术家的住所与全年在同一空间举行的展览或活动等其他类型的节目相一致。另一方面，当没有驻留时，程序集的存储。一旦拆除，可将组件折成3.50x1.80x2.2大小。最后，还需要考虑它们的短暂性质、它们对有限预算的适应和一个月内的生产。

There are several constraints to both the strategy and the material aspect of the project. On the one hand, the need to be capable of dismantling and folding the whole assembly so that the artists’ residencies are compatible with other types of programmes, such as exhibitions or events, that will be held in the same space throughout the year. On the other hand, the storage of the assembly whenever there are no residencies. Once they are dismantled, assemblies can be folded down to a size of 3.50 x 1.80 x 2.2. Finally, their ephemeral nature, their adaptation to a limited budget and their production within a month also need to be considered.

总共有八件礼物送给八位艺术家，这些艺术家将需要完成他们的百花齐放仪式：通过他们的工作，所有的艺术家都将向马德里的公民赠送一份礼物作为回报。这些作品将在马德里马塔迪罗的每一位居民之后在展览中展出。

A total of eight gifts for eight artists, who will then need to meet their end of the potlatch ritual: through their work, all the artists will present a gift to the citizens of Madrid in return. These works will be displayed in the exhibition held after every residency in the Matadero in Madrid.

-庆祝。艺术项目总是值得庆祝的。2014年，兰奇托将举行一场庆祝活动：一场让人想起美国土豆的礼物交换仪式。

-  Celebration. Artistic projects are always a cause for celebration. El Ranchito 2014 will start with a celebration: a gift-exchange ceremony that harks back to the American potlatch.

在我们开始之前，一份礼物。

Before we start, a gift.

-便携空间。由成人大小的三轮车提供动力的一种巨大的轻型包裹，有轮子，便携式，可用于探索空间以寻找合适的位置。

-  Portable space. An enormous and light package, wheeled, portable, powered by an adult-size tricycle, that can be used to explore the space in search of the appropriate position

有踏板的空间。

-包装结构。礼物包括所有你需要的东西，让你在会场里成为自己的家。用礼品包装来创造你自己的空间。

-  Wrapping architecture. The gift includes everything you need to make yourself at home in the venue. Create your own space with the gift wrapping.

打开礼物，包装好你的空间。

Open the gift and wrap your space.

-可改变的邻里关系。由于它的连接系统，装配允许了无数的功能安排。

-  Transformable neighbourhood. The assembly allows a myriad of functional arrangements thanks to its connection system.

根据你的亲密度来改善空间。

Improving the space according to your affinities.

-像弹出式一样折叠.整个集会可以拆开，折叠起来，不留下任何关于发生的事情的痕迹。

-  Folding down like a pop up. The whole assembly can be dismantled and folded down to leave no trace of what happened.

短暂的建筑，为短暂的相遇。

Ephemeral architecture for fleeting encounters.
