Agenda Art and Craft: Know Your Bauhaus I

Know your Bauhaus I is part of the seminar series  Agenda Know Your. Bauhaus was the most influential school and eventually modern art movement in Europe of the 20th century, founded by Walter Gropius in 1919. 

Place: Cinema, Kunstnernes Hus.
Admission is free, no registration required, we advise you to be early.

Bauhaus was based on 19th and early 20th centuries trends like the arts and craft movement, that had sought to reunite creativity and manufacturing. Bauhaus was characterized by its unique approach to teaching, and to artisticially explore art´s approach to society and technology through all major art forms including design and architecture, and performing arts.

Bauhaus also had a major impact both in Europe and the United States long after the school had closed in 1933. Major artists such as Paul Klee, Annie Albers and Josef Albers, Johannes Itten, Wassily Kandinsky, Marianne Brandt, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Brauer were all connected to the school as founders and teachers. Bauhaus aimed to rejuvenate art and design for everyday life, and even though the school abandonded the old tradition of fine art education, it maintained an emphasize on theoretical and theoretical teaching, although linked to practical skills. Bauhaus leveled the old hierarchy of fine arts with craft, and paved the way for ideas that has inspired artists since.

Agenda is a cooperation between department Art and Craft, Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Kunstnernes Hus, facilitated by professor Lotte Konow Lund.
