Bakelit | Glasur | Farbe
In the organizer's words:
The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation has received and continues to receive many gifts: works of art, design objects, photographs and documents, as well as historical light switches made of Bakelite and objects from various Bauhaus buildings from the time of construction. The Bauhaus Museum Dessau displays selected pieces that the foundation has received since the museum opened in 2019.
In addition to the historical collection, the library, the building research archive and the foundation archive also benefit from the generosity of numerous institutions and Bauhaus enthusiasts. And the opening of the Bauhaus Museum Dessau in 2019 would hardly have been possible without the numerous donations. Since then, more than 3,000 objects have been added by over 150 donors.
With the exhibition Bakelite | Glaze | Color - which is integrated into the permanent collection presentation for one year - the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation would like to thank the donors. Due to the incredible volume of donations, the exhibition must be limited to donations since 2019. In addition to a selection of exhibited objects, we offer an additional overview of all the donations of the last six years in a digital image gallery. The exhibition illustrates the many ways in which they enrich the substance of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation's collections.
Inseparably linked to the physical existence of the objects and their factual metadata are the diverse personal stories of the people who entrusted the objects to us. They are unique testimonies to their emotional relationships with the Bauhaus Dessau, both historically and in the present. These stories are also an essential part of the exhibition and its substance for the future.
