Bauhaus Ecologies
In the organizer's words:
Was the historic Bauhaus interested in ecology? Presumably in a different context than today. The exhibition Bauhaus Ecologies explores approaches to ecological thinking in modern design.
Although the Bauhaus is now also associated with the destructive consequences of modernism, the avant-garde artists of the 1920s were already thinking about the future of nature, the environment, climate and landscape. In their search for cultural forms of expression for modernity, the Bauhaus artists were inspired by various schools of thought, including biocentrism, natural philosophy, holistic fantasies and organicism.
Bauhaus Ecologies shows how ecological considerations were combined with design issues between science and art, technology and design at the Bauhaus. Using exemplary objects from the collection of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, the exhibition provides insights into the encounters between crystallography and experimental film, biology and climate-friendly construction, life sciences and abstract art.
Against the backdrop of current discourses on sustainability and climate justice, the project takes a critical look at and reconsiders the history of modern design. A comprehensive accompanying program in collaboration with local institutions and initiatives offers spaces for public debates on ecological issues of the past and present in talks, presentations and excursions.
The exhibition also features the installation Bacterial Cellulose: Co-Weaving Biofilms, which was developed in the Cluster of Excellence Matters of Activity at Humboldt University Berlin. It presents the latest results of research at the interface between design, materials science and biology.
