“Art Is Not a Profession”: Education at the Bauhaus With Sven Marquardt

The Bauhaus was a school – a school for artistic design. Yet according to the Bauhaus Manifesto of 1919, there is “no such thing as art as a profession”, because art cannot be taught.

In the third episode, we discuss this apparent contradiction with photographer Sven Marquardt and try to find out what defines an artist, why young people choose to pursue art, and what role education and training play – then at the Bauhaus, and today.
