TALENTE, EXEMPLA, MEISTER DER MODERNE and SCHMUCK – the special international exhibitions of the «Handwerk & Design» at the Internationale Handwerksmesse draw numerous guests to Munich every year. That way the Bavarian capital becomes the meeting place for artists and craftsmen, designers and creative folks, curators and collectors from all over the world each spring. The «Handwerk & Design» takes place from 11 – 17 March 2015 in Hall B1 at the fairground Messe München.

The SCHMUCK  is an international exhibition that has been taking place in Munich for more than 50 years. It combines works of established artists and promising newcomers in the area of contemporary jewellery design and is the meeting place for collectors, jewellery lovers and museum curators from Germany and abroad.

Organized as a worldwide contest, the works are chosen by an internationally renowned curator each year, this time by Eva Eisler, professor at the Prague Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design (AAAD). “Presenting works at the SCHMUCK is an honor for any jewellery designer“, says Dieter Dohr, Management Board Chairman of the GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH. That is also why this time, more than 600 gold smiths and jewellery designers from Germany and abroad applied for the special show. In spring 2015, contributions by 63 artists from 21 countries will finally be on display. This time, Karel Nowak from the Czech Republic will be honored as the classic of modern art. Highlight of the SCHMUCK will be the awarding of the Herbert-Hofmann-prizes on Saturday, 14 March 2015 at 5 pm on stage in hall B1. On this day, a jury will select the three best works of the SCHMUCK. Each year, a number of accompanying events group around the special show at the Internationale Handwerksmesse in Munich galleries, museums and cultural institutes.

The special show TALENTE  is an international competition for young craftsmen in design and engineering that shows prototypes and trends from different areas of design. Works of craftsmen and designers from 32 countries of all five continents are presented. Among others, there will be participants from Ghana, Iran, Cuba, Lebanon and Mexico for the first time. Glass, ceramics and textile belong to the areas of focus 2015. That way, for example a bicycle helmet made out of so-called pneumatic rope will be on display. Vented, the material is soft and flexible; filled with air it becomes stable and very hard, so that it can be used as a head protector. In the area of furniture, the young designers deal with the relationship of traditional handicraft and today’s technical possibilities in their works and use the advantages of both sides. Altogether, 99 designers will present their works. The best ones will be honored on Saturday, 14 March with the TALENTE-prizes at 4:30 pm on stage in Hall B1.

An exclusive circle of specialists, artists and collectors from all over Germany and beyond is among the visitors of the special show MEISTER DER MODERNE. It shows a selection of the best works of internationally renowned contemporary craftsmen and artists.

Besides the contributions made of glass, there will be exhibits from the areas of ceramics, jewellery and device, metal, paper, textile and wood. The exhibitors of the special show are regularly honored with the Sate of Bavaria’s award for special achievements in handicraft. This year MEISTER DER MODERNE will show works of 29 craftsmen and women and artists from seven countries.
