Siegfried Kreitner [*1967 · DE]. Electronic Fingerprint, 2018.

Photogram on Photographic Paper. 3 unique works

Das Smartphone ist das am weitesten verbreitete und am radikalsten gestaltete Industrieprodukt der Welt. In der Arbeit Electronic Fingerprint wird es als bildnerisches Mittel in der Tradition der Fotogramme von Moholy-Nagy und Gyorgy Kepes verwendet. Die tiefste Schwärze der Graphik – die sich auf dem klassischem Fotopapier nur durch starke Bestrahlung durch Licht oder dem Wirken elektrischer Spannung einstellen kann ergab sich unter dem abgeschaltetem !! Display.

(…) “the image that is referring to itself, represents an ideological starting point. As part of our awareness process, it stimulates and sharpens the experience of light, space and time. Sometimes as a critical, independent commentary, but above all as the materialization of the believe in beauty and quality.”

Stephan Ehrenhofer [*1964 · AT]. Madras CENTURY, 2018.

Acrylic on Paper. 3 + 1 E.A.

„Madras Check“ to me stands for the archetypal quality of an open yet straight forward textile design principle. It is the mixture of colour between warp and weft threads which yield the tonal subtleties in square color blocks that make the appearance of this type of fabric so universally aestethic. In using narrow and broad brush strokes of watercolour my aim is to reenact the same principles that are so characteristic for „Madras“ in a painterly manner. As seen from a modernist point of view this textile approach to design yields the utmost clarity of a non-objective colour space, letting the transparent layers of watercolour interact with each other thereby creating all the nuances of mixed shades that are to be obtained in glazing.

Susan York [*1951 · US]. Bauhaus Study, No. 55A – Opaque-Transparent, 2019.

Pencil drawing on Paper, 3 unique works

My drawings for CENTURY. idee bauhaus began with following the Manifesto of the Staatliches Bauhaus by Walter Gropius (1919) and his edict that “the basis of craftsmanship is indispensable to all artists. It is the prime source of all creative work.” I became a beginner again and studied the lessons taught by Johannes Itten at the Bauhaus. He began his classes with relaxation, breathing and concentration exercises as did I. Then each day I followed one of his lessons in developing skills and vision. Exercise of line compositions in the character of a triangle examined the relationships between triangular forms and the lines that comprised them. Transparent Opaque was an illuminating lesson in value and line and the illusion of transparency and opacity. As I completed each exercise, I gained some insight and craftsmanship. Through my Daily Drawing practice I continue to practice Itten’s exercises, developing further insights into the Bauhaus and the pure distillation evident in its teachings.

Tess Williams [*1985 · GB]. Invert (Detail), 2018.

Digital Print on Canford Paper. 20 + 3 E.A.

This photographic print is a detail section from one of my paintings. I have inverted the original image, and then further edited and abstracted it – blending the physical process of painting with the digital world of photoshop. I am interested in the borer between the hand made vs the virtually produced. How a traditional historic medium like painting can be modernised by using a contemporary medium like photoshop. And also how the manual 3d making of works in my studio can be transferred and reproduced into a 2d medium – and hence taking on a whole new life form.

Digitaldruck. 7 Exemplare

Gewiss, ich weiß, dass das Bauhaus sich nicht auf den rechten Winkel reduzieren lässt, aber das 90°-Zeichen gefällt mir doch ganz gut, nicht nur beim Fußball-Eckstoß. Bei meiner Ausstellung im Krefelder Haus Lange 1970 hatte ich es mehrfach groß ins Treppenhaus geklebt, und 2010 im Museum Ritter sogar plastisch gemacht (4x); das ist auch im Katalog abgebildet. Als grafisches Blatt hatte ich’s noch nicht.

Neben meiner jüngeren Beschäftigung mit der Weberei (“Das Bauhaus webt”), natürlich unter algorithmischen Gesichtspunkten, gilt mein besonderes Interesse seit den 90er Jahren der (Mikro-/Makro-) Typographie und dort insbesondere dem Bauhaus und seinen Vertretern und Nicht-Vertretern (z.B. Tschichold). Verbindungen erstehen immer wieder aus der Zeichenhaftigkeit meiner generativen Irrgärten (mazes -> typomazes).

Wolfgang Ritter [*1961 · DE]. “Skizze zu einer Skulptur”, 2018.

Digital Print auf Karton. 20 + 3 E.A.

Auf der Grafik werden zwei Ellipsen jeweils durch die rechte und die untere Blattkante in zwei unterschiedliche, aber gleichgroße Hälften, geteilt. Die genaue Platzierung auf dem DIN-A4-Format und der Berührungspunkt beider Ausschnitte ergeben sich aus festgelegten Proportionen innerhalb der geometrischen Ausgangsform. Die Position der zwei halben Ellipsen markiert den Grundriss für eine zweiteilige Skulptur aus geschnittenen ellipsoiden Körpern. Diese werden aus einem schwarzen Stein gearbeitet und haben eine mattgeschliffene Oberfläche, die das Licht absorbiert. Es entsteht eine Spannung, einerseits in der Konstellation zwischen den Objekten untereinander und anderseits aber auch in der Skulptur selbst, die durch die präzise Oberflächengestaltung und dem Material statisch wirkt, in sich ruht.

Rather than overwriting the artist’s identity over objects, overwriting the personality of objects against the identity expressed by the artist.

Zora Kreuzer [*1986 · DE]. Abstract Order, 2019.

Silkscreen on paper. 20 + E.A.

Circle. Triangle. Square. These three geometric emblems of the Bauhaus are fundamental to my artistic work. I am drawn to their independent clarity and balance as well as to the tensions and surprises they provoke. For the screenprint, instead of the primary colours of Bauhaus, I brought these shapes into contact with my own palette: neon yellow, neon pink, and light blue against a dark grey background.

100 perspectives on 100 years of the Bauhaus — 100 international artists reflect their personal attitude on the idee bauhaus

Anyone who works in the fields of art, architecture, or design has inevitably engaged with the Bauhaus at some point, and in most cases, has developed a position on it.

As a programme and project gallery for conceptual and minimal contemporary art + architecture, drj initiated a project of its own to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus’ founding which will be shown as a special exhibition at the POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair during Berlin Art Week.

100 international artists were invited to submit their personal reflections on the Bauhaus in the form of a DIN A4 sheet of paper. These individual contributions have been brought together in the exhibition CENTURY. idee bauhaus, which illuminates a broad spectrum of artistic approaches and attitudes, encompassing both personal closeness and critical distance to the subject.

The exhibition is an exemplary visual answer to the question of whether [and if so, how] the legacy of the Bauhaus, which itself existed for only fourteen years, can still be recognized in contemporary artistic approaches. 
Or is it perhaps more the decades of reception history that were formative— whether continuing and adapting Bauhaus ideas or rejecting them?

The exhibition is an official contribution to the jubilee programme and was shown for the first time in the drj exhibition rooms in Berlin-Schöneberg from April to June 2019.

CENTURY. idee bauhaus – a drj project with 100 international artists

First edition on display from April 28 through June 23, 2019, at drj art projects, Berlin

Anyone who works in the fields of art, architecture, or design has inevitably engaged with the Bauhaus at some point, and in most cases, has developed a position on it.

As a programme and project gallery for conceptual and minimal contemporary art + architecture, drj initiated a project of its own to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus’ founding, forming a curatorial team and inviting 100 international artists to submit their personal reflections on the Bauhaus in the form of a DIN A4 sheet of paper.

These individual contributions have been brought together in the exhibition CENTURY. idee bauhaus, which illuminates a broad spectrum of artistic approaches and attitudes, encompassing both personal closeness and critical distance to the subject.

The exhibition is an exemplary visual answer to the question of whether [and if so, how] the legacy of the Bauhaus, which itself existed for only fourteen years, can still be recognized in contemporary artistic approaches.

Or is it perhaps more the decades of reception history that were formative—whether continuing and adapting Bauhaus ideas or rejecting them? The curatorial team consists of museum director Simone Schimpf, MKK Ingolstadt, curator Sibylle Hoiman, Bauhaus Archiv Berlin, art scientist Frederik Schikowski, Berlin/Basel and architect and art collector Frank F. Drewes, Berlin/ Bielefeld, as well as drj directors Christiane Bail and Matthias Seidel.

An overview of all 100 works is available as downloadable pdf file: CENTURY_A1_Poster__A4_Folder_.pdf

CENTURY. idee bauhaus — PORTFOLIO. 14 Reproduktionen ausgewählter Beiträge

Unter den 100 Arbeiten der Ausstellung hat das kuratorische Team die Zahl von 14 Werken bestimmt, die als Destillat des gesamten Projekts in einem Portfolio, in Form von hochwertigen Reproduktionen, zusammengefasst sind.

Die Zahl ist angelehnt an die 14 Jahre, die das Bauhaus von 1919 bis 1933 real an den drei Standorten Weimar, Dessau und Berlin existierte. Im Gegenüber zu den 100 Originalen des Gesamtprojekts ist durch diese Auswahl in gewissem Sinne auch physisch erfahrbar, wie kurz diese Zeitspanne eigentlich war, insbesondere von heute aus besehen, einhundert Jahre nach der Gründung des Bauhaus.

Die Mappen sind in einer limitierten Auflage von 14 nummerierten Exemplaren sowie sechs weiteren, als Épreuves d‘Édition gekennzeichneten produziert worden. Vertrieben werden sie über die drj angegliederte edition ROTE INSEL.

Die ausgewählten Arbeiten sind oben abgebildet.
