On 22 April 2016 we will continue our international exhibition
tour “Handmade in Germany” via Macao. Within the tour this
will be a further stop in China for the design exhibition of the
180 most important German manufactories.
Curated by Pascal Johanssen and Katja Kleiss of
Direktorenhaus Berlin, this touring exhibition
will span several years and continents to show a
concentrated collection of German quality
production: design objects and manufacturing
products, all hand-made in Germany and
stretching across all branches.
The exclusive selection of exhibits represents the
value and future of premium quality production
with a commitment to time and handiwork especially against the backdrop of the current trend
of mass production and globalisation.

T H E TO U R
“Handmade in Germany” is a touring exhibition
of German manufacturers around the world,
spanning several years. Starting in Berlin, the
exhibition first moves to St. Petersburg, then
goes on to visit cities in Asia, America and the
Middle East before returning to Europe once
more.
The exhibition will be shown in exciting cities
and metropolises. For the most part, they will be
reached by sea, but also by land. The idea of the
tour itself is inspired by the “walz” or “journeyman years” – the journey taken on by apprentices of German trades after completing their apprenticeship, similar to the “Grand Tour” of the
European nobility. The journeyman years are
a German tradition still followed today, at the
occasion of which the travelling craftsmen still
wear the traditional garb.

With almost 1 million square meters the Venetian Macao
Resort Hotel is not only the biggest hotel complex in
Asia, it is the sixth biggest building in the world, too! It is
centrally located at the famous Cotai Strip. As one of the
most extraordinary luxury hotels worldwide the Venetian
Macao Resort Hotel is home to a series of entertainment
facilities and high-class restaurants, and, most famously,
it contains a highly regarded exhibition hall as well.
MACAO
As a next stop we will continue our “Handmade in Germany” world tour in Macao.
Macao is situated 50 km away from Hong Kong at the outfall of the delta of the pearl river. Until the late 19th century the city was one of the most important international port regions and, especially in the last years, it has developed into a hub of
luxury hotels. Besides that, Macao has a notable tradition of manufactories and is
very rich with regards to sights that stem from the Portuguese colonial times.
The exhibition is shown in the context of the „International Exposition of Intangible Cultural Heritage and Ancient Art” as an autonomous satellite exhibition. Due to
the checkered history and its very lively manufactories scene, Macao proves to be
an exciting place to present “Handmade in Germany”.

MASTERPIECES
1
Germany has many good manufactories producing high-quality products. The reason for this is
the historical tradition of German craftsmanship.
The training – from apprentice to journeyman to
master – is unique in the world; its purpose is to
achieve a broad access to traditional knowledge
as well as a great depth in the field, which makes
handicrafts one of the most diverse and innovative sectors of the national economy.
2
The “Handmade in Germany” exhibition uses selected exhibits to show what an important part
handicrafts, including the spirit of artistic movements such as the Werkbund and the Bauhaus,
play in Germany’s cultural heritage. “Handmade
in Germany” is a journey through the objects
and people of modern and traditional Germany.
Exhibitors include world-renowned luxury
brands, superb manufactories, individual
designers and award-winning art studios, such
as Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur Berlin,
Fürstenberg and Nymphenburg, Gipsformerei
der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, Graf von
Faber-Castell, Burmester, Koch & Bergfeld,
Mayer’sche Hofkunstanstalt and designers like
fashion designer Frank Leder.

The label „Made in Germany“ has a worldwide
reputation for quality – this sign of quality,
however, mostly marks industrial production. In
contrast, the “Handmade in Germany” exhibition signifies products which are created through
individual master worksmanship by artists,
designers and artisans: Products which take time
to be crafted and require a focus on detail from
their creators, that lend them a very special aura.
The exhibition “Handmade in Germany” shows
the sensual side to German production. Not efficiency and engineering genius are centre stage
here but shape and idea, the poetic, the numinous and the individuality of the world of objects.
Objects are arbiters of cultural norms and values.
The carefully selected collection demonstrates
the relational structure and the fabric of meaning between objects and people. For the curators
of the exhibition this relationship is a pivotal
endeavour of our times: since the reasoning of
our late capitalistic world, shrunken to a meansend rationality, needs alternatives, which don’t
just reduce material things to being marketable
“products”. They are an important part of our
living environment, with all its impact on quality
of life, nurturing and ability to judge.

Pascal Johanssen
is a gallerist, curator and founder of the Direktorenhaus in Berlin.
After studying law he worked at an innovation research lab at the
University of Arts Berlin. In 2005 he started out to represent graphic artists and illustrators for Galerie Johanssen, thereby paving
the way for many artists to enter the art market. In 2007, together
with Katja Kleiss, he founded the Illustrative, an international biennial for contemporary illustration and graphic arts. After that the
gallery moved into new premises at the Direktorenhaus, situated
at the Alte Münze in the center of Berlin, which has been established as an exhibition venue for design and contemporary arts
and crafts. In 2013 he initiated the “Handmade in Germany” exhibition. Later on he founded the “Deutsche Manufakturenstraße”.
Johanssen has published extensively about design research as
well as about topics on the intersection of applied and fine arts.
He is editor of the magazine “Objects. Journal of Applied Arts” and
co-editor of the Guide to German Manufactories.
Katja Kleiss
is a cultural scientist who works as an art and design advisor for
national as well as international companies. She is the project
manager of the “Handmade in Germany” world tour and co-edits
the magazine „Objects. Journal of Applied Arts“. In addition, Kleiss
pursues social design projects that are concerned with including
the civil society into construction projects in public spaces.
Together with her partner Pascal Johanssen and with the support
of investors and various partners, she is currently aiming to transform the area of the Alte Münze in the Mitte district, near the Museum Island of Berlin, into a cultural environment that can provide
various exhibitions and workshops for artists and designers.

The touring exhibition has been initiated by
the Direktorenhaus together with the society
“Freunde des Direktorenhaus”. The Direktorenhaus was founded in 2010 by Pascal Johanssen
and Katja Kleiss in Berlin as an exhibition venue
for applied arts. Since then they have implemented a series of multifaceted projects on the
intersections of art, craft, design and German
manufacture production. While, for instance,
the “Handmade in Germany”-world tour exhibits product of German manufactories worldwide,
the “Deutsche Manufakturenstraße” aims to
preserve, conserve and connect regional manufactories through a 2500 km long event road
encompassing all 16 German states.
The Direktorenhaus is centrally located at the
river Spree in the heart of Berlin.
