In the year of its centenary the Bauhaus returns to haunt our museums.

How do contemporary artists re-imagine a relationship with this legendary school? Are they scavengers raiding the ruins of modernism, appropriators of ‘good design’ kitsch or acolytes of an unholy sect?

Bauhaus Now! explores its legacy in Australia — both for contemporary artists and for art education — highlighting its visionary, collectivist ideals and its radical practices.
