Portraits of the Protagonists. a Selection Portraits of the protagonists. A selection. Gertrud Arndt, 1903–2000 Photographic artist at the Bauhaus Dessau 1929–1932 Cheeky, sylphlike and innovative. With a fish-like pout or as a sophi- sticated woman.Gertrud Arndt is regarded as a modern photographer and pioneer of the selfie. Having trained as a weaver at the Bauhaus, Arndt, who in fact wanted to be an architect, focuses increasingly on photography. From 1929 she experiments with various costumes, facial expressions and angles in front of the camera, thereby reinventing her- self again and again. The resulting 43 “Mask Portraits” show a mercurial and self-confident master of disguise. The artist also shows her diverse talents in another series of photographs in which her particular feel for black, white and grey contrasts comes to the fore. Marianne Brandt, 1893 – 1983 Artist and metal designer at the Bauhaus Dessau 1927–1929 Ceiling lights, pendant lights, the famous Bauhaus teapot MBTK 24 SI. With unflagging creativity, Marianne Brandt made design history in just five years (1924–1929). Today, the lamps designed by the trained artist are famous the world over. Brandt seeks to express the complexity and dynamic of her age not only in geometric and functional experiments with form and in product designs, but also in photographs with modern colla- ge techniques in which she depicts the tempo, advances and culture of the day in relation to the individual. In addition, she makes an important contribution to early emancipation as the first female head of the metal workshop of the Bauhaus Dessau (1928). 1 / 4 2 / 4 Karla Grosch, 1904–1933 Dancer and sports teacher at the Bauhaus Dessau, 1928–1930 “That’s just how I am, light-dark, hot-cold, up-down.” Karla Grosh, student of Gret Palucca, came to the Bauhaus in 1928 as a sports and gymnastics teacher and was at that time one of two female teachers at the Bauhaus Des- sau. Grosch represents the new awareness of the body. With a forceful and resilient personality, she collaborated as a dancer and choreographer among other things on Oskar Schlemmer’s Metal Dance and Glass Dance. Together, the two of them devise experiments in movement intended to establish a new connection between body and mind. Karl Plättner, 1893–1945 Left-wing agitator, gang leader and author in Halle, Leuna, the Mansfeld Land region and in prison, 1920–1928 Karl Plättner is the red Robin Hood of the 1920s. The founding member of the initially radical communist workers’ part of Germany (KAPD) later became lea- der of the March Action of 1921 that reduced Leuna-Merseburg and Halle to a civil war-like state. For the revolutionary workers, Karl Plättner fights an embit- tered class war with incendiary attacks and robberies. Following an eight-year prison sentence he analyses his experiences and observations of the prison and justice system in texts and books. In “Eros in Prison. On the Sexual Needs of Prisoners”, he actively support the introduction of more humane conditions in prisons and shines a clear and uninhibited light on taboos such as sexual needs, masturbation and homosexuality among prisoners. Gustav Nagel, 1874–1952 Advocate of nature and temple guard on Lake Arend, 1920–1933 Go veggie! Toughening up by bathing in winter, fresh air and always walking barefoot. The prophet Gustav Nagel is one of Germany’s most renowned itine- rant preachers. Owing to chronic illnesses and numerous allergies the young Nagel soon chooses to turn his back on civilisation. In earthen caves and on his wanderings he discovers his love for naturopathy. Riding his new, alterna- tive wave, Nagel is carried to Lake Arend. There, he builds a temple complex from crude natural materials. His business model becomes popular and tens of thousands of pilgrims visit him every year. With the sale of natural products and promotional items, he is for a time the town’s most important taxpayer. His messages are still well received today. Easy for everyone to understand, they show how to live a healthy lifestyle. Once outlandish, now more topical than ever. 3 / 4 Rudolf Nebel, 1894–1978 Rocket designer, founding father of space travel, advocate of research into spaceflight in Magdeburg, 1932–1933 The mechanical engineer, rocket scientist and inventor of patents Rudolf Nebel had grand plans. His rockets were designed to fly high. Known as a contact broker, Nebel connects the various parties involved in the city’s space research scene. Together they build the first rocket launch pad in Berlin. The rocket designer’s visions lead him to Magdeburg in the later 1920s. In the prospective city of spaceflight, he was to test the most pioneering prototype rocket design – the first flight of a manned rocket into space and therefore the first flight into the future. Max Valier, 1895–1930 Astronomer, science fiction author and pioneer of rocket propelled cars in Blankenburg (Harz), 1928 Courage, dogged commitment and almost limitless determination. Max Valier, a trained astronomer, has dreams and visions of voyaging to the moon and with that, the possibility of venturing into outer space. Valier is one of the greatest pioneers of rocket technology, a project developer and an orator in the lecture theatre. The trailblazer designs rockets as precursors to the space rocket. He constructs the first rocket propelled airplanes and cars. As a scien- ce fiction writer, he foresees even the atom bomb. His last experiment with a paraffin-fuelled rocket ends fatally, making him the first casualty of spaceflight. He leaves behind a fascination with his unflinching quest to change the world. Erich Rademacher, 1901–1979 Swimming world champion and sport icon from Magdeburg “Ete” Rademacher, a qualified insurance salesman, found his passion in swimming. He became the most successful swimmer of the 1920s. With 30 world records, the winner of eight German championship records in the 100 m breaststroke as well as numerous other medals is regarded as a sports icon. Rademacher exemplifies the appreciation for the athleticism of the New Man and is moreover the figurehead of the city of Magdeburg. Through his fame as a sportsman, Rademacher plays a part in the reintegration of Germany in the international community following its isolation in the wake of the First World War. 4 / 4 Edith (Schulze) Dinkelmann, 1896–1984 Town planner and architect in Dessau, 1919–1927 Entirely common now, but a sensation at the time: Edith Dinkelmann is the first woman to study architecture at the University of Braunschweig. She gets her first job after an internship with the Dessau building authority. Active in housing development and large-scale town planning projects, Dinkelmann leaves a significant footprint in Dessau. The Bauhaus Dessau is sceptical and critical of the graduate engineer. In 1926 Dinkelmann publishes an open letter attacking the Bauhaus and specifically the architecture of Walter Gropius. Dinkelmann exemplifies the tension-laden disparities in the visions of modern architecture. Siegfried Ebeling, 1896–1984 Visionary architect at the Junkers works in Dessau, 1925–1927 Buildings must breathe. Walls are membranes. The visionary Siegfried Ebeling calls for an organic architecture and advocates energy-efficient construction. 1926 sees the publication of his text “Space as Membrane”, a result of his time at the Bauhaus Weimar. With his cosmological theories of architecture, the friend and student of Wassily Kandinsky and Marcel Breuer causes a furore in architectural circles. Even Ludwig Mies van der Rohe subsequently refers to the thought processes of the artist, cosmologist, dancer and later architect. Today, his views are regarded as game changing for modern architecture and bionics. Bruno Taut, 1880–1938 Ingenious architect and head of the municipal planning office, Magdeburg 1921–1924 Colours, glass and light: these are incisive criteria in the work of Bruno Taut. During his time in Magdeburg, the town councillor and architect unites functio- nality and pictorial art. Stale and dreary looking workers’ settlements are made more people-friendly with intense colours. To this day, entire streets are still decorated with the municipally ordered graffiti. The enthusiastic painter revives the lost tradition of colour in architecture and thus allows for the emotional effect. Affordable homes for tenants, light-filled buildings and the social signi- ficance of architecture all have an influential role to play in his visionary town planning .

  • "Pictures Made of Wool": the Gender of Labor at the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop (1919-23)
    Tai Smith - "Pictures made of wool": The Gender of Labor at the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop (1919-23) Back to Issue 4 "Pictures made of wool": The Gender of Labor at the Bauhaus Weaving Workshop (1919-23) by T'ai Smith © 2002 In 1926, one year after the Bauhaus had moved to Dessau, the weaving workshop master Gunta Stölzl dismissed the earlier, Weimar period textiles, such as Hedwig Jungnik’s wall hanging from 1922 [Fig. 1], as mere “pictures made of wool.”1 In this description she differentiated the early weavings, from the later, “progressivist” textiles of the Dessau workshop, which functioned industrially and architecturally: to soundproof space or to reflect light. The weavings of the Weimar years, by contrast, were autonomous, ornamental pieces, exhibited in the fashion of paintings. Stölzl saw this earlier work as a failure because it had no progressive aim. The wall hangings of the Weimar workshop were experimental—concerned with the pictorial elements of form and color—yet at that they were still inadequate, without the larger, transcendental goals of painting, as in the Bauhaus painter Wassily Kandinsky’s Red Spot II from 1921. Stölzl assessed the earlier, “aesthetic” period of weaving as unsuccessful, because its specific strengths were neither developed nor theorized. Weaving in the early Bauhaus lacked its own discursive parameters, just as it lacked a disciplinary history. Evaluated against the “true” picture, painting, weaving appeared a weaker, ineffectual medium. Stölzl’s remark references a fundamental problem that goes unquestioned in the literature concerning the Weimar Bauhaus weaving workshop and the feminized status of the medium.

  • 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.

  • Original Bauhaus
    original bauhaus the centenary exhibition The Bauhaus existed for only 14 years in Germany, but for 100 years 6 sep 2019 – 27 jan 2020 its ideas have flourished and its products have been relaunched, at the berlinische galerie imitated and further developed. Marking the centenary of the press conference 4 Sep, 11 am Bauhaus, the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung presents opening 5 Sep, 7 pm the exhibition original bauhaus at the Berlinische Galerie featuring more than 1,000 famous, familiar and forgotten Bauhaus originals and recounting the history behind the objects. original bauhaus showcases works of art and design from the holdings of the Bauhaus-Archiv, exceptional loans from international collections and artistic positions which take a new look at the Bauhaus legacy. On the basis of 14 key objects, the exhibition presents 14 case histories: How did the woman sitting on the tubular steel chair become the most famous anonymous figure of the Bauhaus? Does the Haus Am Horn in Weimar have a secret twin? Why have Marianne Brandt’s tea infusers which were created as prototypes for industrial production always remained one-of-a-kind pieces? original bauhaus sheds light on how unique works and series, remakes and originals are inseparably linked in the history of the Bauhaus. The fact is that Bauhaus artists did not see art and technology as opposed to one another. Instead, they used technical innovations to create exceptional works of art, and they took serial production into account from the moment they began drafting their designs. Today we look back at almost 100 years of responses to the Bauhaus, compared to only 14 years of Bauhaus production.

ABSTRACT This thesis is the first in-depth study of female photographers’ images of themselves, with their cameras, working in Weimar Berlin. A focus on three self-portraits by women at the heart of the so-called ‘New Photography’, will allow insight into the importance of the self- portrait genre for female photographers, who sought to establish themselves in this rapidly developing field. The photographers Lotte Jacobi (1896-1990), Eva Besnyö (1910-2003) and Marianne Breslauer (1909-2001) have diverse photographic oeuvres yet each produced an occupational self-portrait whilst in Berlin between 1929 and 1933.

  • Queering the Bauhaus
    Queering the Bauhaus Johannes Birringer Book Reviewed: Elizabeth Otto, Haunted Bauhaus: Occult Spirituality, Gender Fluidity, Queer Identities, and Radical Politics, Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 2019. idening our lenses on the Bauhaus (1919–1933), arguably the twenti- eth century’s most influential art institution, means introducing new Wnarratives and subjecting to pressure the existing historical reception of its utopian energies. The school’s legacy has largely been associated with a rationalist modernism, its unique holistic pedagogies for the radical pursuit of art, architecture, design (including all the handcrafts in the various workshops), along with the emerging photography/film and graphic advertising media, ulti- mately also linked to a production ethos, bringing functional and elegant indus- trial design to the masses. The latter was a focus that Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius formulated in the proclamation “Art and Technology—a New Unity,” but this projected unity also symbolized a will for a new age (a reformed life or Lebensreform), given that the school opened shortly after the end of a catastrophic World War. Establishing a new model of a design school in Weimar, of all places, was auspicious: it brought together a younger generation of students and teachers who rejected the nationalistic, militaristic, and authoritarian past and believed in the social relevance of the arts in an emerging democratic society. Elizabeth Otto’s new book is as fascinating as it is relentless in disrupting most of the “normative narrative,” as she calls it, looking for what has been erased or overlooked, excavating the ghosts in the closets and cellars, searching for uncanny spectres that haunt the institution.

  • The Bauhaus Movement: Where Are the Women?
    BRIEFING The Bauhaus movement: Where are the women? SUMMARY Bauhaus, arguably the most influential art and design movement in history, celebrated its centenary in 2019. While many of the avant-garde genres that helped shape modern art focused on painting, the Bauhaus movement encompassed a wide array of media, materials, and disciplines, ranging from the fine arts to architecture and design. Bauhaus is renowned for its smart use of resources, simplicity, effectiveness and polished, smooth lines. Its principles still influence the design of contemporary architecture and everyday objects, embodied in the belief that 'Less is more'. In an era when women had no access to public education in many fields, Bauhaus director Walter Gropius proclaimed that the institution would be open to 'any person of good repute, regardless of age or sex'. However, although the movement was largely populated by women, the names recorded in history are mainly those of men, while female Bauhaus creators are mostly remembered as their wives or assistants. Indeed, these pioneering creators were tolerated, rather than welcomed. By many accounts, the early years of the Bauhaus restricted women to areas deemed proper for their gender, such as textiles and weaving, while discouraging them from indulging in architecture, sculpture or painting. Similarly, no matter how talented, women had very little opportunity to teach at the school and did not receive apprenticeship certificates, which prevented them from acquiring master's diplomas and ultimately placed limits on their careers. In spite of these difficulties, women Bauhauslers arguably turned such constraints into an advantage. Under the direction of Gunta Stölzl, the Bauhaus weaving department became one of the school's most successful fields, with fabrics from the weaving workshop being very successful commercially.
