Cracks in the Curtain Wall - Beyond an Architecture of Cleanliness

 From 4th May till 9th August 2015 – Interdisciplinary Lab at Bauhaus  
Dessau Foundation



Under the title “Cracks in the Curtain Wall - Beyond an Architecture  
of Cleanliness“ the Bauhaus Lab 2015 focuses on the new material  
culture of modern architecture from a hitherto little noticed  
perspective, that is, cleaning. Modernism clothed products and  
buildings in smooth, clean and hard surfaces out of artificial,  
industrially produced materials. Principles of cleanliness,  
efficiency, and hygiene were highly valued – which operating  
infrastructures were required to maintain a glass curtain wall though  
remains largely ignored.

The Bauhaus Lab 2015 follows up on traces of cleaning on selected  
architectures of Bauhaus modernism – particularly in relation to their  
material character. This archaeology of building cleaning is the  
starting point for critical reflection concerning the current  
approaches to an architecture of cleanliness, in search for scenarios  
of the hybrid conditions of the metabolism between man, object and  
environment, which overcome the modern aseptic of transparency,  
control, and order. The program will end with a jointly curated  
exhibition, which will be presented as a contribution to the theme of  
cleaning at the Housekeeping Fair 2015, held at the complex of  
Masters’ Houses.

Young professionals in architecture, design, fine arts and curatorial  
practice may apply. Participation is free of costs. Workspaces will be  
provided at the former metal workshop at the Bauhaus building – at the  
historical original site. The program will be held in English.  
Interested persons are required to submit a statement of interest by  
31st March 2015 to the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. An international  
jury will choose eight participants by 4th April 2015.
