A multimedia tribute to the Bauhaus legacy: contemporary artists inspired by the iconic design school Between 2016 and 2018, the Goethe-Institut in Chicago organised a series of exhibitions marking 80 years of the New Bauhaus in Chicago (in 2017) and 100 years of the Bauhaus in Germany (2019). Taking Bauhaus' interdisciplinary ethos as a starting point, ten artists from Chicago and Germany were invited to create "A Little Piece of Bauhaus" at the Institut-which thus became an open platform for boundary-transcending artistic dialogues between the "old" and "new" Bauhaus. German artist Monika Wulfers created glowing geometric pieces reminiscent of Bauhaus legend Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet," while Israeli artist Assaf Evron reimagined the photographic collages of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Others experimented with Bauhaus-inspired performance art, photography, painting and textile art to create a diverse tribute to the school's lasting legacy. Artists include: Heike Albrecht, Assaf Evron, Doug Fogelson, Anke Loh, Luftwerk, Christina Wildgrube, Rebecca Wilton, Serene Wise and Monika Wulfers. SELLING POINT: .
