Bauhaus and photography - On the new way of seeing in contemporary art

  • Date: 09/28/2019 - 10/24/2019
  • Time: 19:00 - 19:30
  • Place: Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Steubenplatz 1, 64293 Darmstadt
  • Organizer: Kunstverein Darmstadt e.V.

The historical point of reference for the exhibition developed by Kai-Uwe Hemken (Kunsthochschule Kassel), Christoph Schaden (Technische Hochschule Nürnberg GSO) and Kris Scholz (Hochschule Darmstadt) is the legendary Werkbundschau "Film und Foto" (FiFo), which caused a sensation in 1929. The Bauhaus master László Moholy-Nagy curated a room each on the history and future of photography, the concept and appearance of which, however, are only documented in fragments. At the Kunsthalle Darmstadt, parts of Moholy-Nagy's exhibition can be experienced as a material and virtual reconstruction. The exhibition project is funded by the "Bauhaus Today Fund" of the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences.
