A couple of weeks ago I visited the celebrated Bauhaus: Art as Life exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery. As the name might state the obvious, the whole exhibition was about the Bauhaus movement; a movement that what we call design is rooted there.
The show was massive -and perhaps too much, as it presents Bauhaus from its very first endeavors in form and color followed by furniture, catalogues, sculptures, architecture and so on, up to the last photograph that was shot in the school's canteen the day that it became past. In conclusion, it was a very well curated show, very large and multi disciplinary ranging from linoleums and typography to furniture and photography. It's not that the informed viewer will see something new, but perhaps they will be able to observe a sequence of evolution that was trigured and gradually shaped contemporary visual culture. The exhibition will be on public display until August 12th, 2012.
