Debating the Bauhaus and Modernism<\/strong><br><br>Edited by Andrea B\u00e4rnreuther for the Bauhaus-Archiv<br><br>494 pages, numerous illustrations<br>Hardback<br>2021, English<br><br>The publication is based on a symposium that took place on 29 and 30 November 2019 as part of the anniversary exhibition \u201cOriginal Bauhaus\u201d of the Bauhaus-Archiv\u2009\/\u2009Museum f\u00fcr Gestaltung at Berlinische Galerie and included a school project. Almost all presentations and discussions were revised for the publication and supplemented by seven further papers. The title poses the question of what we mean by \u201cTaking a Stand\u201d \u2014 both in terms of the Bauhaus as an object of investigation and the ways in which it is addressed. The concept of taking a stand spans a broad nexus of ideas for exploring the historical Bauhaus and its historiography as well as its relevance for present and future generations. The Bauhaus becomes recognizable as a complex of material culture, ideas, practices and politics. At the same time, the publication shows what it means to understand the Bauhaus as a transnational and transcultural network of relationships: It can become a driving force for transcultural exchange in the present. The curated format of this hybrid print and online publication opens up non-linear and multi-perspective approaches via overarching questions and keywords.<br><br>With contributions by Winfried Nerdinger, Olaf Scholz, Anh-Linh Ngo, Andrea B\u00e4rnreuther, Florentine Baumann, Kirsten Zenns, Carina Kitzenmaier, Ryan Fred Long, Raquel Franklin, Paola Ardizzola, Ulrich Hartung, Eduard K\u00f6gel, Titia Rixt Hoekstra, Atli Magnus Seelow, David Maul\u00e9n de los Reyes, Susanne Neubauer und Marcelo Mari, Fernando P\u00e9rez-Oyarzun, Chin-Wei Chang, Zoe Zhang, Joaqu\u00edn Medina Warmburg, Simone Hain, Philipp Oswalt, Ronny Sch\u00fcler, Hila Cohen-Schneiderman, Doreen Mende, Annemarie Jaeggi, Elke Krasny, Thierry Fabre<br><br>Please ask our colleagues in the <a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\">Bauhaus-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/bauhaus-shop.de\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop<\/a> for prices and availability.<br><br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\">online-<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">version<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de\/arthistoricum\/catalog\/book\/843\"> of this publication<\/a> is made available free of charge on a lasting basis (Open Access)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2083,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2526","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"seo_titel":"","keywords":"","noindex":false,"redirect":"","short_url":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24639,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/2526\/revisions\/24639"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2083"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bauhaus.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
