The centenary of the Bauhaus provides opportunity for a dialogue between the photo-avant-garde of circa 1930 and contemporary art photography. The historical point of reference for this exhibition is a two-part curatorial-scenographic reconstruction of a presentation, conceived by László Moholy-Nagy, of the history of photography, entitled “Wohin geht die fotografische Entwicklung?” (Where is photography developing?). It was shown in 1929 at the international traveling exhibition "Film und Foto", organized by the German Werkbund – the program was supplemented by a presentation of works by the renowned avant-garde artist and former Bauhaus instructor. This reconstruction will be extended and given greater sensory concreteness through the inclusion of numerous vintage prints from the holdings of the Kunstbibliothek and a presentation of films from the 1920s.
How do the innovations introduced by the Bauhaus continue to contribute to the development of photographic visual languages today? For contemporary artists, what role is played by the photo-avant-garde of circa 1930? This question is answered by 70 works by artists such as Daniel T. Braun, Max de Esteban, Doug Fogelson, Douglas Gordon, Antje Hanebeck, Taiyo Onorato & Nico Krebs, Thomas Ruff, Vivianne Sassen, Kris Scholz, Stefanie Seufert, Dominique Teufen, and Wolfgang Tillmans. |
