Berlin: original bauhaus 
The Anniversary Exhibition

From 6th September 2019, the Berlin exhibition "original bauhaus" will be opening its doors to all, so marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus. The exhibition by the Bauhaus Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung shows over 1,000 Bauhaus originals in the Berlinische Galerie, telling the stories behind these objects. The show comprises art and design from the Bauhaus Archive collection, special loans from international collections, and artistic positions taking a fresh look at the Bauhaus legacy.

"For 'original bauhaus' we worked together with school pupils and the Bauhaus Agents right from the start. Their unbiased perspective enabled us to examine the Bauhaus Archive's collection anew, so providing important impulses for both the anniversary exhibition and the future presentation of the collection in the new museum building. The Bauhaus Agents Programme gave us the opportunity to develop ideas over longer periods of time and to co-conceive and write the Bauhaus Exercise Book. Thanks to this cooperation, the exhibition will be enriched by some decisive perspectives. ‘Practising the Bauhaus’, on the other hand, has become part of the art lessons at a Berlin school–here, we would like to see many adaptations of the 'original'!"

In cooperation with the Bauhaus Agents Programme, the exhibition invites the visitors themselves to try exercises from the preparatory course at the Bauhaus. International experts from the fields of dance, photography, paper art, architecture and breathing techniques will be offering workshops on the subject of "preparatory course practice".  Publications include an accompanying catalogue and the "original bauhaus" exercise book, which collects the most important preparatory course exercises in one publication for the first time.
