WHAT'S HAPPENING we
Celebrating iconic Bauhaus centenary next year, bauhaus imaginista presents the exhibition Moving Away at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA) New Delhi. This exhibition focuses on how principles in design and architecture from the Bauhaus have been adapted, expanded and contested in different social and political contexts. These include the former Soviet Republics, India, North Korea and China. The title of the exhibition indicates how the migration of Bauhaus ideas was never a case of pure dissemination, but instead these ideas were accepted and rejected in relation to local conditions and against a backdrop of geopolitical change in the twentieth century.
EXHIBITION DATES: December 4–18, 2018
ENTRY: FREE

Moving Away at the Kiran Nadar Museum, which was partly presented before in Hangzhou (China) with the same title, brings diverse Bauhaus genealogies together in an exhibition for the first time. The exhibition is series of events being hosted by museums and galleries across marking the occasion of the Bauhaus' 100th anniversary.
Although it was in operation for just 14 years before it was shut down by the National Socialist Party, as part of the Nazi regime, it has become the most influential art and design school in history.
The school birthed a generation of acclaimed alumni across a range of disciplines, including typographer Herbert Bayer, textile artist Anni Albers and sculptor Marianne Brandt. Meanwhile teachers included artist Wassily Kandinsky, designer Piet Zwart, and architect Mies van der Rohe
