DOUBLE AGENTS 4
Rethinking Roles and Practices in the Arts
The BAUHAUS Edition
@ Salon Villa Erxleben
Gallery KLEINERVONWIESE
Douglasstrasse 28, 14193 Berlin
As this 100th year of the Bauhaus draws to a close in December, please join us for Double Agents 4: the Bauhaus edition
with
Wulf Herzogenrath
renowned art historian, curator, museum director, on his book
“The Bauhaus Does Not Exist”
&
David Szauder
on his sculpture after Moholy-Nagy, “Light Space Modulator”
Bauhaus teachers and Bauhaus students were always “double agents”, because their goal went far beyond the fine arts into shaping the future. The Bauhaus wanted to conceive the new on a verifiable basis, test the future, design the feasible. From 1919 to 1933, inspired not least by the changes in its directors, Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer and Mies van der Rohe, it underwent several fundamental changes, which Wulf Herzogenrath dissects in his central thesis on the five phases of the Bauhaus.
While David Szauder reimagines for the present day the classic of Bauhaus design, “Light Space Modulator” – the kinetic light and sound sculpture by one of the founding fathers of the Bauhaus, Moholy-Nagy.

FLESH on FLESH
In Cooperation With
In 2017 with the theme “vs. Meat”, Berlin Food Art Week addresses topics such as human and animal rights, conscious consumption, environmental issues and sustainability. We are many, and as we all must eat, our diet has a huge influence on our environment. How we deal with our nature and animals, the overproduction, food quality, the impact on the planet and its cultures? These are the issues that are brought to the stage, using art and food to bring attention and awareness.
Inverting the vegetarian premise of this edition of Food Art Week, MOMENTUM uses the occasion of our partnership to engage with five artists from the MOMENTUM Collection and our Artist Residency Program (MOMENTUM AiR) who work with meat as an artistic medium, and as an effective commentary upon cultural practices and taboos. Raw meat, the very visceral building block of all animal life, whether in a kitchen or under a surgeon’s knife, is a substance which in some elicits hunger, in others disgust. Indifference is not an option – especially in this exhibition where the artists each in their own way, some gruesome and others humorous, subvert the loaded meanings of meat.

BuildingScape is a Berlin-based company that develops artistic, architectonic and urban media interventions and concepts to accompany and promote the construction process of pivotal European building projects. The primary aim is to transform what is often perceived to be a social inconvenience in the form of major construction sites into living urban interventions that creatively address the process of urban transformation and development. With this frame of thinking, BuildingScape addresses the building of future architectural and cultural icons within their immediate and broader social context. To achieve these objectives, BuildingScape designs innovative artistic interventions within and upon the structures of construction sites, including large-scale video projections in public space, and the commissioning of site-specific works through artist residencies. By bringing contemporary art into direct contact with urban development in public space, BuildingScape transforms the process of construction into cultural and social experience that is as innovative and inspiring as it is entertaining and educational. BuildingScape was founded in 2014 by Can Togay (former Director of the Collegium Hungaricum Berlin), David Szauder (artist and curator), and Thomas Hölzel (collector and developer).
