Symposium: "Have we really never been modern? Bauhaus and documenta in elective affinity".
The public symposium will explore the implicit modernity narratives of the Bauhaus and documenta exhibitions. The constellation of origins in Weimar and Kassel will be discussed and the metamorphoses in the passage through New Delhi, St. Lucia, Lagos (all documenta 11), Kabul (documenta 13) or Athens (documenta 14) will be explored. Where do the two interwoven narratives come from, what developments, what strains and dynamics have they experienced, with which others have they connected, and what threads have been spun from here?
Times: Friday, June 14: 3 to 6:45 p.m. Saturday, June 15: 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Conception: Heinz Bude, Professor of Macrosociology, University of Kassel.
The symposium is part of the project"Bauhaus | documenta".
