  • The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. by Elizabeth Otto
    133 Book Reviews Tempo, Tempo! The Bauhaus Photomontages of Marianne Brandt. By Elizabeth Otto. Berlin: Jovis Verlag, 2005. 176 pp. $35.00 cloth. Elizabeth Otto’s recent exhibition catalogue and catalogue raisonnée of the photomontages of Marianne Brandt recovers a previously unpublished body 134 THE SPACE BETWEEN of work and addresses two issues of great importance during the Weimar Republic: the complicated roles of women, and the physical and emotional fragmentation of modern life. Women occupied a confl icted position in 1920s Germany, experiencing struggles over gender and work, sexuality, economic independence, and a general movement towards liberation. Much German art of the period, as seen in paintings by Otto Dix, featured the quasi-mythical fi gure of the Neue Frau, or New Woman, a construction heav- ily propagated by the popular press as well.1 Simultaneously, visual artists and other purveyors of culture, from musicians to playwrights, turned to the fragmentation of montage as a way to impart the disjointed, chaotic nature of life in the urban metropolis.2 In her photomontages, produced over the course of a decade, Marianne Brandt returned again and again to themes of the modern metropolis, new technologies, and the status of women. Brandt chose the medium of photomontage specifi cally for its critical potential: by carefully selecting, fragmenting, and recombining images from the mass media, Brandt implicitly questioned the apparent progress of women, the militarization of German society, and the quality of urban life. Born in Chemnitz in 1893, Marianne Liebe began her formal train- ing under Fritz Mackensen. Strongly infl uenced by the Expressionists, Liebe earned a degree in painting from the Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Weimar in 1918.

  • Sleep Like a Bauhaus Master
    P R E S S E M I T T E I L U N G 1. November 2013 Sleep Like a Bauhaus Master The studio building of the Dessau Bauhaus now offers you the opportunity to stay in rooms that were once lived in by Josef Albers, Alfred Arndt, or Franz Ehrlich - and the interior of Marianne Brandt's studio has been reconstructed as well. Visitors to the Bauhaus studio building in Dessau can now stay overnight in rooms that were occupied by Anni and Josef Albers, Gertrud and Alfred Arndt, or Franz Ehrlich in the 1920s. Recent research has made it possible to say exactly who resided in which apartment during the period between 1926 and 1932. These rooms have now been given a personal touch in the form of furni- ture and works of art by the respective members of the Bauhaus. The Preller- haus, as the studio building is called, can once again be experienced in its historical, programmatic function as a collective residence. Why not soak up the heady atmosphere of the 1920s and the wild excitement of life as it went on here at the Bauhaus? The Albers Room: The painter, sculptor and art theoretician Josef Albers (1888-1976) probably oc- cupied room 204 from September 1926 until he moved into a master's house in 1928. The Bauhaus master distinguished himself as a furniture designer, creating remarkable single items of furniture and furniture groups in the 1920s. Among them are an oak wood rack for periodicals and sheet music from 1923, a tea table of oak and white-painted glass from 1927 and a nesting table from 1926.

  • The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum Für Gestaltung in Berlin Is Taking a Bauhaus Photo Exhibition to the White City in Tel Aviv
    Press release The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin is taking a Bauhaus Photo exhibition to the White City in Tel Aviv On the occasion of this year’s anniversary, ‘Fifty Years of German-Israeli Relations’, the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung is presenting an exhibition in the White City in Tel Aviv, showing 100 key photographic works from its collection of Bauhaus materials – the world’s largest such collection. Berlin, 30 September 2015. A selection of 100 Bauhaus photos from the collection of more than 70,000 photographic prints held by the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin is being shown from 12 to 31 October 2015 in the ‘bauhaus.photo’ exhibition in the White City in Tel Aviv. The multifaceted content and style of Bauhaus photography is being presented under four headings: life at the Bauhaus, architecture and product photography, portrait shots and works from the Bauhaus photography course given by Walter Peterhans. ‘I am particularly pleased that our travelling exhibition “bauhaus.photo” is able to visit the Max Liebling House in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the White City in Tel Aviv. De- signed by Dov Karmi in 1935–36, the building is to become a German-Israeli historic monument project in the coming years and will develop into the central venue for modern architecture in Tel Aviv,’ explains Annemarie Jaeggi, Director of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin. The Bauhaus (1919–1933) was the twentieth century’s most important school of architecture, de- sign and art. It was closed under pressure from the Nazis.

Program Chair _________________________________________ Elihu Rubin Reader Abstract: Eisenhüttenstadt, the first “socialist model city” designed and constructed in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), provides an opportunity to scrutinize the relationship between state conceptions of architectural design and national identity in the early 1950s.

  • How We Celebrate International Women's Day in Bauhausland
    How we celebrate International Women’s Day in BauhausLand Women in the Bauhaus movement: Discover who they were and what they did When an exhibition by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers opened in London recently, art critics gave the show five stars. Albers’ textiles, wall-hangings and “pictorial weavings” were a revelation. But she was not the only female artist in the Bauhaus. Now, as the world marks the 100th birthday of this revolutionary design movement, the contributions of its women designers are in the spot- light. In BauhausLand (the German federal states of Thuringia and Saxony- Anhalt), women, such as Albers, Gertrud Arndt and Marianne Brandt are being celebrated. And, a couple of hours to the north, Berlin, another Bauhaus hotspot, has declared International Women's Day (March 8) to be an official public holiday. Anni Albers: Master of Textiles When Walter Gropius created the Bauhaus school in Weimar in 1919, every- one was welcome “without regard to age or sex.” In fact, more women than men applied! Anni Albers studied weaving and went on to be a brilliant and influential textile designer. After fleeing Germany, she based herself at Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. Gunta Stölzl: Designer, teacher and producer Albers had studied under Gunta Stölzl. She was the head of the Bauhaus weaving department and one of only six women in the 45-strong faculty. Stölzl transformed her students into a full-on, professional, industrial design unit. For example, they designed and wove the blankets for the beds in Dessau’s stu- dent dorm. The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has a fine collection of Stölzl’s textiles.
