Biennials of design in Chile, a management model

Abstract

On Sunday 12, January 2013, at 9 pm, in “Centro Cultural Estación Mapocho”, national monument and ancient railway station to Valparaiso, the 5th Design Biennial “Global Thinking, Local Design” closes. The objects exhibited are about to be delivered to their authors and the assembly, silently starts to be disassembled. With dedication, each one of the sheets are taken down from their supports and rolled up in order to deliver them to each one of the participants. More than 100 exhibition modules are dismantled and packed, as if each showcase, wood, and anchorage were pieces of collection. A planned and optimized design that speaks of the experience of their authors and of the organizers of this event. Once again, this meeting place for many chilean citizens, starts to get empty.
