After its founding in 1919 the school was in contact with other avant-garde movements worldwide. Since March 2018, the research project has been tracing transnational relations, correspondences and narratives of migration going beyond the years the Bauhaus was active as a school and revealing its significance for the present-day. Now bauhaus imaginista culminates with an expanded overview at HKW. Its global interconnections and local manifestations have never been shown in this magnitude before. Parts of the bauhaus imaginista exhibition will also be shown at more Goethe-Instituts and other partner institutions worldwide in 2019. The title bauhaus imaginista hints at the imaginative possibilities that were opened up by the Bauhaus and the multilayered interpretations that the term still denotes today. Between archival materials and contemporary contributions, the project translates historical perspectives into contemporary questions: How might culture be reimagined in the spirit of the Bauhaus as a social project today? What kinds of institutions would such a project need? And in what ways does the Bauhaus still stimulate visionary practices and discourses today? The exhibition discusses avant-garde art schools in India and Japan as parallel histories of modern educational reforms. It traces the study of pre-modern crafts at the Bauhaus and by Bauhaus students in North and Central American exile as well as their politicization in post-revolutionary Mexico, independent Morocco and Brazil. It shows translations of Bauhaus design approaches in China, Nigeria and the Soviet Union, but also the innovative use of media at the Bauhaus, which impacts art and pop culture even today. Following exhibitions, symposia and workshops in 2018 in Rabat, Hangzhou, Kyoto and Tokyo, São Paulo, Lagos, Delhi, New York and Moscow in collaboration with the Goethe-Instituts and local partners, the first three chapters of the exhibition and research project will be brought together at HKW and, for the first time, the fourth and final chapter will be shown. Still Undead explores experimental work with light, film, photography and sound based on Kurt Schwerdtfeger’s Reflecting Color-Light-Play. The apparatus will be demonstrated at the opening of bauhaus imaginista. With works by Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Arthur Amora, Gertrud Arndt, Ruth Asawa, Kader Attia, Lena Bergner, Lina Bo Bardi, Farid Belkahia, Susie Benally, Nandalal Bose, Mohamed Chabâa, Ahmed Cherkaoui, Lygia Clark, Alice Creischer, Muriel Cooper, Zvi Efrat, T.

With Kader Attia, Thomas Flierl, Christian Hiller, Doreen Mende, Paulo Tavares and others The second conference on May 11-12, A New School, discusses the Bauhaus based on examples from China, India, Morocco, Nigeria and the United States in the context of the development of experimental educational practices across boundaries of time and space. bauhaus imaginista is curated by Marion von Osten and Grant Watson in collaboration with the researchers Elissa Auther, Suchitra Balasubrahmanyan, Regina Bittner, Gavin Butt, Helena Čapková,Anshuman Dasgupta, Tatiana Efrussi, Thomas Flierl, Erin Alexa Freedman, Anja Guttenberger, Christian Hiller, Yuko Ikeda, Maud Houssais, Eduard Kögel, Toni Maraini, Mariana Meneses, Jin Motohashi, Partha Mitter, Luiza Proença, Daniel Talesnik, and Hiromitsu Umemyia The entire evolution of the project is being documented in an online journal, bauhaus- imaginista.org, which also offers a platform for dialog between artists and researchers from all over the world. The exhibition will be accompanied by guided tours for adults and families, a free DIY audio guide, a Students’ Day (May 18) and a vacation workshop (Apr 15-18). On the Long Night of Ideas (Jun 6), guided tours will be held in sign language and for the blind and visually impaired. A school project with four Berlin schools called bauhaus reloaded offers further insights. Concurrent with the opening of bauhaus imaginista at HKW, Thames & Hudson will publish a catalog edited by Marion von Osten and Grant Watson. The German version will be published by Scheidegger & Spiess. Following the expanded overview at HKW, the bauhaus imaginista exhibition will continue to travel: Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern will showcase the HKW exhibition of bauhaus imaginista from September 20, 2019 to January 12, 2020. Nottingham Contemporary will show bauhaus imaginista: Still Undead with a focus on the UK from September 21, 2019 to January 5, 2020. In addition, the Goethe-Institut and the curators commissioned the artist Luca Frei to create a sculptural element in the form of a walkable space where visitors can engage with the various levels of the project. The mobile exhibition bauhaus imaginista: collected research will be shown at more Goethe-Instituts and other partner institutions worldwide from 2019 onwards.

The need to radicalize art education as part of this question ran through the twentieth century, and when thinking about the historical Bauhaus an example of radical pedagogy immediately appears. Established in 1919 in Weimar as a new model of a design school in the immediate aftermath of the First World War and the German Revolution, the Bauhaus brought together a younger generation of artists and architects who rejected the nationalistic, militaristic, and authoritarian past and insisted on the social relevance of the arts in an emerging democratic society. Helping to shape this radical imagination for new practices, new forms of learning, and new lifestyles was the idea that the individual and the material environment should be freed from all that was unnecessary and that the relationship between the arts, craft, design, and the building should

In other words, the technique determines possibilities which are then perceived and translated by operators or others, notably photographers. With regard to photo/graphics, my position is the same: the introduction of photography into graphics systems was to engender new possibilities and reinvigorate the question of graphic design. And this in turn raises another issue: the printing of the photograph, which is to say, its assimilation to both the print and the illustration, with the mass distribution that implies.
