the bauhaus heritage
Commented screening
Presentation of the life and work of my grandparents Corona Krause (1906-1948) and Hermann (Sven) Gautel (1905-1945), Bauhaus students, and my dialogue with them.
From this family heritage, I offer a particular look at the Bauhaus. This is not yet another historical presentation of this emblematic school, but an insider’s experience of the Bauhaus, through two of its students, at two different key moments, and how these “Bauhäusler” tried to perpetuate and defend their values ​​under Nazism. As a third point of view, we add that of the grandson, an artist himself, who looks at this story and tries to establish a “posthumous intergenerational artistic dialogue”.

The exhibition Offset takes us on a journey through the art editions collected by the CDLA. Its title refers to a printing technique widely used for publication, and reflects the desire to break out of the established order – to present off-centre points of view. To be outside the “set”…

In my 2^nd year course on Body and Space at the architecture school ENSAPLV, I proposed this year as a reference and common thread the drawing by Leonardo da Vinci The Vitruvian Man. Inspired by this iconic image, the students raised questions about canons of beauty and norms, natural and constructed environment, identity and gender, communication and power relations. A set of works of this course has been presented at the ENSAPLV open house on February 4, 2023.
