Meeting point: Infocounter Mausoleum
On the occasion of the Bauhaus Centenary the 2019 Werkleitz Festival will feature the following artists:
Haseeb Ahmed (US/BE), Rosa Barba (IT/DE), Aram Bartholl (DE), Michael Beutler (DE), Haris Epaminonda (CY/DE), Holmer Feldmann (DE), Ângela Ferreira (MZ/PT), Nikolaus Gansterer (AT), Christoph Girardet (DE), Cornelius Grau (DE), Romain Löser (FR/DE), Andrea Pichl (DE) and Magdalena Rude (DE).
These 13 artists have been invited to develop works for the festival that specifically respond to the tension between models and ruins, interacting with the existing locations and compositions of the exhibition parcours. The grounds of the exhibition parcours connect the classical modern ensemble of the Feininger and Moholy-Nagy Meisterhäuser and facing Georgengarten with architectural compositions from the 18th and early 19th century, including the Mausoleum, which was erected in the late 1890s in an opulent gesture of historicism. Tours of the exhibition parcours contextualize Bauhaus in terms of a more comprehensive history and offer visitors the opportunity to explore the Bauhaus legacy from a contemporary perspective.
