Bauhaus And Photography: On New Visions In Contemporary Art

Does the Bauhaus still contribute to further developments in photographic pictorial languages? What role does the avant-garde photography play for contemporary artists today? At the center of Bauhaus and Photography is the reconstruction of Lászlo Moholy-Nagy's photography-section at the legendary 1929-1930 Werkbund-exhibition Film und Foto (Film and Photo). For the first time, the Neues Sehen (New Vision) of the 1930s as well as contemporary photographs, sculptures, and video installations enter into a seminal dialogue between the factual exhibition situation and virtual reality. Exhibition held: NRW Forum Düsseldorf, Germany (07.12.2018 - 10.03.2019) / Museum für Fotografie Berlin, Germany (12.04. - 25.08.2019) / Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Germany (29.09.2019 - 05.01.2020).
