<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Visitor information<\/h2>\n
Visit the special show during the Internationale Handwerksmesse in Hall B1. Wednesday, March 4 to Sunday, March 8, 2026 Underground line 2, “Messestadt West” station<\/p>\n You can find more information on how to get here on the Internationale Handwerksmesse website. You can also buy your tickets online there. <\/p>\n<\/div> Every TALENTEm\u00fcnchen exhibition since 1980 has been documented in a catalogue.<\/p>\n The 2026 catalogues will be available to you at the start of the trade fair.<\/p>\n You can purchase it at the Internationale Handwerksmesse in Hall B1 and in the Galerie Handwerk<\/a> or order it online.<\/p>\n<\/div> The selection for the TALENTEm\u00fcnchen exhibition is made by Barbara Schmidt and Dr. Michaela Braesel in the Trade Fairs and Exhibitions department of the Chamber of Crafts. This year, 86 entries from 26 countries were selected from a total of over 700 applications and more than 40 countries.<\/p>\n Each year, seven jurors are invited to select the TALENTEm\u00fcnchen prizes at the exhibition. The group is made up of mentors, most of whom have supported TALENTEm\u00fcnchen for many years in the placement of applications. They are usually teachers at international academies and schools as well as representatives of public institutions such as museums. <\/p>\n The prizes will be awarded on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the trade fair and include a certificate and a listing in the following year’s catalogues.<\/p>\n<\/div> Julia G\u00e4se’s work was convincing in its concept of sustainability. She rejects the fast, fashion-driven cycle of obsolescence and instead reflects on the possibilities of reuse. The well-thought-out concept includes the use of natural dyes to minimise environmental impact. The project aims to encourage behavioural change and raise awareness of the need for a sustainable approach to resources. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Raz Harari and Shir Israel from Studio Zing use paper casting in a novel, interesting, and experimental way, replacing the usual plaster with paper moulds. This results in unique pieces with unusually appealing surfaces. The unpredictable or non-calculable outcomes could not be achieved with plaster moulds and offer potential for further exploration of form. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Levani Jishkariani\u2019s works are characterized by an archaic quality and a sculptural approach, as well as by an intriguing combination of materials. The clarity and expressive power of the works are achieved through a deliberate engagement with the material itself. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Muna Jonkman combines traditional patterns and a personal symbolism rooted in her cultural heritage in the wall hangings \u201cI am Because You Once Were.\u201d She is concerned with connections\u2014those between different cultures and times\u2014between past and present. At the same time, she engages with rituals, particularly those of women, and with storytelling. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> In her \u201cenfold ring\u201d series, Mari Kobayashi engages with a very old and highly complex enamel technique, which she executes with virtuosity. For the forms, she uses familiar, classical types that are decorated in enamel with delicate tendril ornaments. Kobayashi plays with the notion of value, which in her work is not conveyed through the stones traditionally associated with such forms, but rather through the technical complexity of their making. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> The inflatable tire protection impressed the jury as both an invention and a principle. It serves as an exemplary representation of inflatable object technology and can be transferred to many applications. The approach is suitable for everyday life with its constant changes. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Katerina Lagoda\u2019s work \u201cDumka \u2013 Between Reality and Dream\u201d impressed with its politically engaging concept as well as its authentic and memorable execution. The presence of the work is conveyed through its convincing staging, achieved by combining installation and fashion design. The idea of protection, with its emphasis on warmth and enveloping, addresses aspects of empathy and togetherness. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> From six countries, with seven perspectives: the award-winning emerging artists present a wide range of creative and craft-based works, spanning paper casting, enamel techniques, and textiles through to material research.<\/p>\n In the photo:<\/strong> Four of the prize winners of the “TALENTE – Meister der Zukunft” competition 2026 with members of the jury.<\/p>\n The winners from left to right:<\/strong> Julia G\u00e4se, Levani Jishkariani, Mari Kobayashi, Leika Su Kutzke<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Ceramic, stoneware, pigmented, cast<\/b><\/p>\n Lena Ringels’ vases are characterised by their unusual form. They are cast in broken, reassembled plaster moulds and fascinate with their sculptural appearance. Destruction and renewal form the basis of Lena Ringels’ work. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
