Schmiede11: Chaos Creates Structure
15.-25. September 2011

Schmiede stands for three things: network, create, present

Schmiede Hallein is a prosumer festival. A work in progress laboratory where our ideas come to play.  Since 2003, Schmiede provides space, time, tools, a heterogeneous group of participants and projects. For ten days, every September, 140 creatives and artists from all around the world come to the Saline in Hallein (2000 m2) and make Schmiede an open and free space for exchange, teaching and learning. Depending on the needs and possibilities of its members the network moves along the borders of art, culture, handcraft and creative industry. Schmiede ends with SchmiedeWorkshow, a grand public exhibition, where the Smith productions of the past ten days are presented to the public and media. After a fully completed participation period the Schmiede participant becomes a "Smith" and member of the SmithNetwork.

To participate at Schmiede you need to apply, the application phase is open till May 31
