Vassily Kandinsky - Teaching at the Bauhaus
The teaching work of Vassily Kandinsky (1866­1944) at the Bauhaus
is the focus of an exhibition being shown from 25 June to 8 September 2014
in the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin. For the first
time, manuscripts and materials from the teaching work of the famous Bauhaus
teacher, on loan from the archives of the Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the
Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles), are being shown together, along
with a selection of exercises and notes by his Bauhaus students from the
holdings of the Bauhaus Archiv Berlin and the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau.
'Vassily Kandinsky ­ Teaching at the Bauhaus' documents Kandinsky's
teaching work from the Mural Painting Workshop, from the preliminary course
and main course, and also from the free painting class at the Bauhaus.
Vassily Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract art. During the nearly 11 years
in which he worked at the Bauhaus, he developed his ideas on art theory
further and taught them in the courses. Along with eleven of his drawings
and watercolours from his time at the Bauhaus, Kandinsky's writings are
also on display at the exhibition, as well as one work each by his Bauhaus
colleagues László Moholy-Nagy, Georg Muche, Lyonel Feininger
and Paul Klee.
The exhibition 'Vassily Kandinsky ­ Teaching at the Bauhaus' is based
on a research project carried out by the Société Kandinsky
and is being curated by art historian Dr. Angelika Weißbach. A 195-page
catalogue with some 200 illustrations, edited by Prof. Magdalena Droste
for the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, is being published
to accompany the exhibition.
Beginning today ­ throughout Berlin ­ 500 illuminated posters
featuring famous Bauhaus works by Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Walter
Gropius and Oskar Schlemmer will extend their invitation to visit the museum.
Berlin, 15 July 2014: Beginning immediately, they can be seen
on posters all across Berlin: Marcel Breuer's world-famous tubular steel
chair, Marianne Brandt's tea infuser, photographs of Oskar Schlemmer's
"Triadic Ballet" and the distinctive building of the Bauhaus-Archiv
­ a late work by Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. These exceptional
works are all part of the "Bauhaus Collection: Classic Modern Originals"
at the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, and they can be seen
at the Klingelhöferstraße 14. The Berlin poster campaign featuring
the four motifs was made possible through the generous support of the Wall
AG. For one week at the beginning of August, the motifs from the Bauhaus
Collection will also be shown on the digital advertising panels in the
underground station at Friedrichstraße.
"In our poster campaign, we place four individuals from the Bauhaus
in the spotlight as pioneers of modern design", explains Dr Annemarie
Jaeggi, Director of the Bauhaus-Archiv. "Innovative eaching methods
and the collaboration with important figures from highly diverse fields
enabled
Bauhaus students to develop their talents early on and to follow new paths.
You can explore the results in our permanent exhibition."
The poster campaign that can be seen for the next 14 days was made possible
by the generous support of Wall AG. Daniel Wall, Chairman of the Board
of Wall AG, has stated: "Even today, the Bauhaus continues to have
a strong influence on art and architecture. With the Bauhaus-Archiv,Berlin
possesses a genuine cultural gem that has fascinated its many visitors.
For us as well ­ as
street furnishers and outdoor advertisers ­ aesthetics and appealing
design are important values.
That is why we are particularly pleased to support the Bauhaus-Archiv in
inspiring even more people with enthusiasm for the beauty of the forms
of modern and timeless design."
The Bauhaus figures in the poster campaign
In 1919, the 35-year-old architect Walter Gropius founded the Bauhaus,
which became the 20th century's internationally most important school of
architecture, design and art. Gropius is considered one of the main protagonists
of modern architecture. In 1979 the distinctive building that he designed
for the Bauhaus-Archiv was opened in Berlin as a central site for the heritage
of
the Bauhaus. His estate provided the initial foundation of the Bauhaus
collection in Berlin.
As the only woman, Marianne Brandt taught in the metal workshop of the
Bauhaus Dessau in the 1920s and created timeless design classics, such
as her tea infuser, which continues to be manufactured today.
The architect and designer Marcel Breuer is seen as the inventor of modern
tubular steel furniture. He designed the renowned tubular steel armchair
B 3 in 1926, one year after being appointed a junior master and the head
of the furniture workshop at the Bauhaus Dessau.
The artist Oskar Schlemmer described his "Triadic Ballet",
which was also performed on the Bauhaus stage, as a "festival in form
and colour". Numerous original photographs, including those of Erich
Consemüller, have been preserved.
The Bauhaus_Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung
The Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin conducts research into and presents the history
and influence of the Bauhaus (1919­1933), the 20th century's most important
school of architecture, design and art.
After the closing of the Bauhaus in 1933, this material heritage was scattered
all around the world.The German art historian Hans Maria Wingler founded
the Bauhaus-Archiv in Darmstadt in 1960, with the goal of developing a
collection related to the topic of the Bauhaus. He was supported by the
founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, and by other individuals formerly
involved with the
Bauhaus. In 1979 the Bauhaus-Archiv opened at its present location, in
the centre of Berlin in thebuilding designed by Walter Gropius. The building
is the largest work in the Bauhaus collection.
Along with the permanent exhibition, the Bauhaus-Archiv regularly presents
special exhibitions covering the entire spectrum of the avant-garde school.
The Bauhaus existed only until 1933, but the ideas that it set in motion
still remain influential in diverse ways today. Accordingly, the Bauhaus-Archiv
regularly presents contemporary design, in addition to thematic exhibitions
dealing with the Bauhaus. In 2019, to mark the occasion of its 100th jubilee,
the Bauhaus will be receiving a new museum building.
Fokus "Bühne" in der Schausammlung des Bauhaus-Archivs
Berlin
Mit der Präsentation von Oskar Schlemmers Regieheft zum Triadischen
Ballett und zehn Originalfotografien zu seinen Bühnenarbeiten gibt
das Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung neue Einblicke in sonst
verborgene Schätze aus der weltweit größten Bauhaus-Sammlung
und würdigt den großen Bauhaus-Lehrer.
23. Juli 2014. Ab sofort zeigt das Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung
in Berlin im Rahmen seiner Dauerausstellung eine Themenwand mit zehn Fotografien
zu Oskar Schlemmers Bühnenarbeiten sowie dessen Originalregieheft
zum Triadischen Ballett. Der Maler und Bildhauer wurde 1921 als einer der
ersten Künstler durch den Bauhaus-Gründer Walter Gropius als
Lehrer ans Bauhaus berufen und leitete von 1923 bis zu seinem Weggang vom
Bauhaus 1929 die Bühnenwerkstatt. Schlemmer (1888-1943) setzte dort
seine abstrakten Theaterexperimente, die er bereits von 1916 bis 1922 mit
dem Triadischen Ballett begonnen hatte, konsequent fort. Das Regieheft
zum Triadischen Ballett, dessen Name sich auf das inhaltliche Ordnungsprinzip
des Dreiklangs bezieht, enthält einen Figurenplan, ein Gruppenfoto
sowie acht Szenenfotos und gibt die Anordnung der Tänze bei der Aufführung
in Donaueschingen wieder. Die präsentierten Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen
aus den 1920er Jahren stammen überwiegend von Bauhäuslern wie
T. Lux Feininger, Erich Consemüller sowie Irene oder Herbert Bayer
und zeigen eindrucksvoll, wie Schlemmer durch Kostüm, Bühnenbild
und Choreografie menschliche Figuren als mathematisch-geometrisch bestimmte
Typen inszenierte.
Die bis Mitte September 2014 zu sehenden Exponate zeigen eine Auswahl der
zahlreichen Werke Oskar Schlemmers aus dem Bestand des Bauhaus-Archivs.
Mit der jetzigen Präsentation erinnert das Bauhaus-Archiv an den bedeutenden
Bauhaus-Meister, der vor 70 Jahren gestorben ist. Aus diesem Anlass finden
seit Jahresende 2013 an verschiedenen Orten in Deutschland Ausstellungen
zu Oskar Schlemmers Werk statt. Ende Juni 2014 wurde das Triadische Ballett
in München und Berlin als Neuproduktion der choreografischen Fassung
von Gerhard Bohner aufgeführt. Die Staatsgalerie Stuttgart zeigt ab
21. November 2014 in einer großen Schau das Schaffen des Stuttgarter
Bauhauskünstlers in Malerei, Skulptur und Bühnenkunst.
Das Bauhaus_Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung
Das Bauhaus_Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung in Berlin erforscht und

Gebäude steht die weltweit umfangreichste Sammlung zur Geschichte
der Schule und zu allen Aspekten ihrer Arbeit jedem Interessierten offen.
