Taking a Stand? Debating the Bauhaus and Modernism
“Taking a Stand? Debating the Bauhaus and Modernism” is the developed and expanded version of a symposium that incorporated a school project. The title asks what is understood by adopting an attitude, both in terms of the Bauhaus as a discursive object and the ways in which it is addressed. The concept of taking a stand spans a broad nexus of ideas for investigating the Bauhaus and Bauhaus historiography and for opening up the Bauhaus to the future. The Bauhaus becomes recognizable as a complex of material culture, ideas, practices, and politics, while its understanding as a transnational and transcultural network of relationships becomes fruitful as a driving force for transcultural exchange. The curated format of this hybrid print and online publication opens up non-linear and multi-perspective approaches via overarching questions and keywords.
