Bauhaus100. Programme For The Now – Contemporary Viewpoints 10. April, 2019 – 25. August
Just a hundred years ago, in 1919, Walter Gropius founded the Weimar Bauhaus, the most important source and milestone of contemporary art, an art workshop and school. Its theory and practice inspired a number of subsequent art movements and approaches, and its original program offered even more: the aesthetic reform of life from everyday life to art. This selection is a kind of attempt to look back: rethink and recall this unique modernist utopia from a contemporary perspective.
