Ausstellung vom 25. Juni bis 27. August 2023 – Eröffnung am Samstag, 24. Juni 2023

Mit CENTURY. idee bauhaus zeigt die Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst ein herausragendes, 106-teiliges Konvolut der Sammlung Schroth.

Die Kuratorin Christiane Bail, und der Ausstellungsmacher Matthias Seidel von der Berliner Programmgalerie drj art projects haben »CENTURY. idee bauhaus« als Projekt zum Bauhaus-Jubiläumsjahr 2019 konzipiert und realisiert. Gemeinsam mit Museumsdirektorinnen Simone Schimpf und Sibylle Hoiman, Kunstwissenschaftler Frederik Schikowski sowie Architekt und Kunstsammler Frank F. Drewes wurden der Vielzahl internationaler Künstlerinnen und Künstler ausgewählt und eingeladen, ihre persönlichen Reflexionen über das Bauhaus in Form eines DIN-A4-Blattes einzureichen. Diese individuellen Beiträge beleuchten ein breites Spektrum künstlerischer Ansätze und Haltungen, das sowohl persönliche Nähe als auch kritische Distanz zum Thema umfasst.

Zum Auftakt der Europäischen Kulturhauptstadt 2023 wurde CENTURY. idee bauhaus im Rahmen der Kooperation »Kultur.Kontakt.Konkret« in Veszprém präsentiert und um sechs ausgewählte ungarische Positionen erweitert. Wie die ursprünglichen 100 Werke sind auch diese nach den festgelegten Parametern entworfen und ausgeführt.

Frisch aus Ungarn zurückgekehrt, wird dieses nun 100+6 Einzelwerke umfassende Konvolut im Kabinett des Museum Wilhelm Morgner parallel zur Ausstellung von Werken der ungarischen Sammlung Vass, die in Umgang und Raum Schroth zu sehen ist, präsentiert.

Third time on display January 20 through April 2, 2023, at Palais Dubniczay in Veszprém, Hungary

As part of the European Capital of Culture 2023, the exhibition CENTURY. idee bauhaus will be on view once again in Veszprém, Hungary in the municipal museum House of Arts.

The backdrop is the personal contact of the collector and initiator of the Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst Soest, Carl-Jürgen Schroth, with the collector László Vass, who himself runs a private museum in Veszprém that is a venue of the House of Arts. Its focus is close to Stiftung Konzeptuelle Kunst Soest in terms of content. Carl-Jürgen Schroth acquired the original edition of CENTURY in 2020 for his collection. Together with other selected works from his extensive art collection of minimal, conceptual and concrete art, it will be on display in Veszprém from January 20, 2023 through April 2, 2023. Moreover, there will be an exchange with works from the László Vass Collection, which will then be shown in the Schroth Artroom at the Wilhelm Morgner Museum in Soest.

Second edition on display from September 12 through 15, 2019, at POSITIONS Berlin Art Fair, Berlin

C E N T U R Y. idee bauhaus

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.

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.

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.
