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.

Andrea Bärnreuther, research associate bauhaus100 at the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, Berlin, worked as exhibition curator at the National Gallery of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Head of Communications, Media, Publications at the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany, Bonn, and conceived and organized academic, discursive and cultural programs in the Directorate General of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and at the University of Rostock. The focus of her research interest is on 20th century art, culture, and architecture in a socio-political context and on a transnational and transcultural concept of cultural heritage, understood with regard to museums as an impetus for change.
