Description

Bioregional Assembly_Salzkammergut develops a network of material, human and infrastructural resources in the Salzkammergut region and shows how these can be assembled in a way that could strengthen local ecological, economic and social systems in the future. The Salzkammergut region will be used as a case study and a 'test kitchen' for the implementation of bioregional design practices. An overview of all participating projects will be presented at the opening on 6.7.

Focus exhibition:
The Colombian designer and materials researcher Henna Burney from Atelier LUMA, a programme of LUMA Arles, worked together with Salinen Austria AG and investigated salt mining in Altaussee as well as salt processing and the production processes in the production facility in Ebensee. In close cooperation with internal experts from the company, a series of material experiments were carried out, such as salt crystallisation, integration of salt in ceramic production and salt compression. The aim of the project is to develop prototype products and processes that can demonstrate new systemic applications of salt in the Salzkammergut region. The results will be exhibited and presented as part of the ‘Opening Event’ on 6 July.

From 6 July – 26 September 2024, a permanent exhibition in the former greenhouse of the Stadtgarten Kunstquartier Gmunden will present all projects within the framework of Bioregional Assembly__Salzkammergut. In parallel, individual projects will be highlighted in a series of changing special exhibitions. From June 2024, the presentation and developments of the projects will be documented on the Bioregional Assembly__Salzkammergut Instagram channel: @bioregional_assembly

The Opening Event on 6 July 2024 will provide an overview of all projects and ongoing research as well as discuss possible synergies between all participating project partners. At the Closing Event on 26 September 2024, all projects developed as part of the Bioregional Assembly_Salzkammergut will be presented and their possible future continuation discussed.
