Bauhaus Now! Exhibition

Guest curated by Dr Ann Stephen

In the year of its centenary the Bauhaus returns to haunt our museums. How do contemporary artists re-imagine a relationship to this legendary school? Are they scavengers raiding the ruins of modernism, appropriators of ‘good design’ kitsch, or acolytes of an unholy sect? Bauhaus Now! explores its legacy in Australia – both for contemporary artists and for art education – highlighting its visionary, collectivist ideals and its radical practices.
