With the project HOCHsitzen in 2010, SCHMUCK2 contributed to the debate on the principle of exhibition space/studio/space for art and design/jewellery. This discussion culminated in the installation of the HOCHsitz studio and an interview project published in the HOCHsitzen publication.
During the Internationale Handwerksmesse in Munich(IHM) and its Sonderschau SCHMUCK2011 this publication was introduced in cooperation with the artist group UNWETTER during a Discursive Picnic at the MaximiliansForum in München(DE).
A Discursive Picnic initiated by UNWETTER connects different contexts in an ongoing process of reciprocal exchange. Similar to the overarching approach of exchange by SCHMUCK2 a Discursive Picnic initiated by UNWETTER connects different contexts in an ongoing process of mutual exchange. The picnic works as a potluck, where everybody is both guest and host at the same time. In Munich, on the occasion of the internationally renowned craft trade fair IHM with the Sonderschau SCHMUCK, a platform for discussion beyond the exhibition and presentation of jewellery had been developed.
