Beyond Bauhaus is a more than yearlong series of exhibitions, publications and commissioned installations featuring contemporary artists whose practices are inspired by or respondent to the history of Bauhaus (1919-1933), the German art school so influential on modern art, architecture, craft, design and education. Beyond Bauhaus coincided with the centennial of the founding of the Bauhaus, which left a legacy based on radical experimentation in all the arts. Through solo exhibitions, group shows, public art installations and online projects, Beyond Bauhaus highlighted the lasting impact of the Bauhaus on creative practice and on the interdisciplinary nature of arts education. The exhibitions were complemented by two publications: a scholarly catalogue that includes essays by the curator, art historians, and artists, and International Style, a digital publication to accompany the online exhibition.

“I love uniforms! Because if there’s nothing there, clothes are certainly not going to make the man. It’s better to always wear the same thing and know that people are liking you for the real you and not the you your clothes make.”
The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B & Back Again)
