America 32°N, 55°S

For its first institutional collaboration, Fracas is pleased to invite the Swiss label República Austral. This event is the opportunity for these two young galleries to present a group exhibition showcasing Latin American design, with 8 designers from 5 countries, ranging from latitude 23°N to 55°S, from Mexico to Chile. The creations from these countries still don’t have a great visibility in Europe but are booming in their original countries, this is one of the starting points that led República Austral and Fracas to curate this exhibition: "We want to give visibility to this emerging scene, in the shadow of countries more culturally settled like Brazil ". This exhibition highlights the values that the two galleries defend: craftsmanship, mastery of the gesture, quality of details, freedom of design and use of noble and durable materials. Each object is anchored in a specific geographical context, which determines its design, its manufacturing process and its materials while giving it a soul. The feelings and the personal stories of the designers are found in the objects and gives them their own coloring. Participants: Alberto Vitelio (CL), Estudio Diario (UY), Mariadela Araujo (VE), Mestiz (MX), Ries (AR), Rodrigo Bravo (CL), Rodrigo Pinto (CL), Studio Materia (CL)
