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.
