Coming Home @ Bauhaus Eins
I am delighted to be a part of this exhibition presenting: Building My Memory House, developed for my MFA Thesis defence and performed in July 2019, which coincided with my exhibition A Memory House at Bauhaus Eins, Weimar.
THIS approximately 150-year-old house is rather unremarkable according to Weimar standards, no historical figures lived here, the architecture is not particularly noteworthy and like many homes in the area our basement floods every time there is a lot of rain.
WHAT makes this house remarkable are the people inside and the activities that are happening here for the past 10 years. The house also has a fortunate address name, Bauhausstraße 1 and is located adjacent to the university’s main building which was designed by Henry van de Velde and built between 1904 and 1911. The University’s main building can be seen from our kitchen windows and was one of the most important art school building projects at the turn of the century and was also the birthplace of the Bauhaus in 1919.
HOW we want to show you this diversity of personalities who have lived and lived here is both simple and extensive. Arts. Music. Inventions. Design. Concepts. Projects. In a one-month-and-a-day-long exhibition, we´re inviting the public to enter our doors to learn about our mission, participate in activities and see some of the artists we have supported over the years. All floors will be filled with exciting objects, arts, and installations which try to grab and portray all that has happened in the Bauhaus Eins in recent years.
VISIT www.bauhauseins.de or COME HOME (10th Oct – 11th Nov / Tuesday — Friday 4 to 8 pm) to have a look into the renovated living spaces and some of the innovative research and interior decoration that has taken place over the past decade. This house is a type of laboratory and similar to the Haus am Horn Musterhaus we hope that the best ideas inside will be distributed and shared with others to spread awareness and concepts for better, more ecologically sustainable renovation methods and architecture in the future. Every Wednesday we will talk at 5pm about how to renovate in modern ways keeping old traditions alive – that‘s Bauhaus Eins.
