Darc space gallery celebrates the centenary and legacy of the Bauhaus, founded in 1919 in Weimar, with an exhibition of new work by Berlin-based artist Albert Weis.
In his exhibition "After Bauhaus", Albert Weis explores the influence of the Bauhaus on his work, including the architecture of Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, but also artists like Bruno Taut and Hans Scharoun, who designed Berlin’s iconic Philharmonic concert hall. Albert Weis’ practice extends from film to the production of large-scale sculptural works, often using aluminium and neon, to engage with the architecture and urban space of post-war modernism.
The centenary of the foundation of the Bauhaus is celebrated both in Germany and internationally with a programme of events throughout 2019. Although only 14 years in existence, the legacy of the Bauhaus across art, architecture, design, craft and urban planning has endured to the present day.
