Bauhaus Model
July 22 - October 4, 2009
An exhibition arranged jointly by the Bauhaus Archive/Museum of Design in Berlin, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Foundation of Weimar Classics. Funded by the Federal Cultural Foundation Media partners rbb Inforadio, rbb Kulturradio, rbb Fernsehen www.modell-bauhaus.de First joint exhibition organised by the three German Bauhaus institutions to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus.
In 2009, 90 years after the founding of the State Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919 and 20 years after the peaceful revolution in the GDR in 1989, the three Bauhaus institutions will be staging their first-ever joint exhibition entitled “The Bauhaus Model”. This major exhibition on the history and influence of the Bauhaus is being organised by
– the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design in Berlin
– the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and
– the Foundation of Weimar Classics
which conduct research into the Bauhaus and have the largest relevant collections in Germany. It will be held at the Martin-Gropius-Bau from 22 July 2009 to 4 October 2009.
The purpose of the exhibition is to put the history of the Bauhaus in a different light by means of a comprehensive presentation of the works of its masters and pupils. The underlying intention is to raise public awareness of the significance of the Bauhaus for the development and dissemination of Modernism. The exhibition will consequently focus in particular on the influence exerted by the Bauhaus.
Historical background
The Bauhaus, which was founded in Weimar in 1919, moved to Dessau in 1925 and was shut down by the Nazis in Berlin in 1933, ranks as the most influential and successful German ‘cultural export’ of the 20th century. Over 70 years after its enforced closure this international school of art, architecture, design and theatre with its strong emphasis on interdisciplinary work enjoys an undiminished worldwide reputation. The founding of the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the late 1920s was influenced by the Bauhaus.
The Bauhaus has retained its modernity right up to the present day because it consistently focussed on the social effects of creativity and design, because it regularly crossed the traditional dividing lines between the different genres, adopting an interdisciplinary approach instead, and because the international outlook it adopted from the very outset propelled its systematic search for a universal language of design. The aura and the impact of the work carried out by the Bauhaus in Germany and after its dissolution in 1933 illustrate that, while the Bauhaus as a laboratory and workshop of Modernism was destroyed for political reasons, its global impact only really began to unfold after its closure.
Sharing in the project is the Museum of Modern Art, New York, which to mark its 80th anniversary will be staging the exhibition in a revised form from 8 November 2009 to 18 January 2010 under the heading “Bauhaus 1919–33: Workshops for Modernity”.

Some great photos and information pictured here. As for the Marcel Breuer chair, it looks fascinating but very uncomfortable.
