Bauhaus: Workshops for Modernity 1919-1933

The exhibition website, "Bauhaus: Workshops for Modernity 1919-1933" (www.moma.org/bauhaus) presents an overview of the Bauhaus that situates it both geographically and historically, allowing exploration of works made throughout the school's 14-year existence in Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin. Featuring 150 works from the exhibition, the site allows users to explore this influential school's faculty, students, workshops, and artworks through a series of interactive screens. Special features include a high-quality presentation of László Moholy-Nagy's 1930 film "Lichtspiel: Schwartz, Grau, Weiss" ("Lightplay: Black, Gray, White") and a selection of vintage snapshots of daily life at the Bauhaus. In addition, visitors to the site can fill in a questionnaire Vasily Kandinsky presented to incoming Bauhaus students and witness the behind the scenes preparation of MoMA's exhibition through a series of video clips and interviews with Museum staff. The site is designed by Hello Design of Culver City, CA (www.hellodesign.com). The site launched to the public on MoMA.org on November 8, 2009.
