Mischa Kuball
«Bauhaus-Block/Lottery at the Bauhaus in Dessau»

«Bauhaus-Block» was a number of works by the artist Mischa Kuball carried out in Dessau one year after German reunification in the historic building of the 20th century's most important art school.
The goal was to make the building itself an exhibit. No signs pointed the way to individual works; visitors had to find their own way, armed with a floor plan. With dynamic installations and slide projections in subversive deformations, Kuball focussed attention on the materiality of the incunabulum of modern architecture in itself and on the theoretical construction of the influential school as a philosophical construct. The visual interrogation of the site addresses the traditions of the Bauhaus School.
