The Bauhaus curriculum was built upon its preliminary course. In the century since its brief existence, that enormously influential curriculum has reshaped art education around the world. Albers Foundation Education Director Fritz Horstman will provide historical context, before, during, and after the Bauhaus, touching on ways that these ideas were present in the Cold War, and how they are relevant today.

This will also provide an opportunity to make connections to the upcoming series of workshops at the Wende Museum in February and March that will be led by Horstman and a number of other artists working in modes related to the ideas of the Bauhaus, including workshops on color, paper folding, and design.
