Bauhaus9090

The Bauhaus celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2009, and “The Bauhaus: 90 Years / 90 Days” commemorated this anniversary. Every day during this 90-day project (from July 6 till October 3), a project happened which creatively played around with and paid homage to an aspect of the Bauhaus. Examples of those projects included a dance performance inspired by Oskar Schlemmer’s ballet, a musical performance that uses a Kandinsky painting as a graphic score, a fiber art project inspired by Anni Albers’ work, a poem inspired by Walter Gropius’ architecture, a short story inspired by Marianne Brandt’s work, an essay reflecting on an aspect of the Bauhaus movement, and so on.

These events were presented at different locations around the world. This website is being used to track and document day-by-day records of this project's happenings. Part of "The Bauhaus: 90 Years / 90 Days" were part of The Fourth Annual Chicago Calling Arts Festival. “The Bauhaus: 90 Years / 90 Days” is being organized by the Borderbend Arts Collective and the Gropius in Chicago Coalition.
