whirlpool + TOCTOC featuring los contratistas: maxart project

celebrating its 10th anniversary in mexico and the launch of their new kitchen line 2012, whirlpool mexico presents the ‘maxart project’, directed by jorge moreno arózqueta in collaboration with TOCTOC, a networking platform whose mission is to promote local talent. the project consists in the intervention of a series of whirlpool max microwaves by local artists los contratistas.

using graffiti techniques over high-tech pieces, they created a playful and geometric collection of 50 unique pieces that were later exhibited as a modular installation. to consolidate the project, filmmaker javier garza yañez directed a documentary that tells the story of los contratistas, their style and how they conceived the final pieces.
