Age 14 – 114

For the Bauhäuslers, experimenting with techniques and material was a basic prerequisite for creativity. We want to pick up on this idea: we try out various analogue and digital media, work in a team, and individually tinker with, construct, design and programme major and minor creative projects, the whole gamut.

Participants will be supported by artists, designers and art teachers.

Meeting place:
Bauhaus Museum Dessau
Mies-van-der-Rohe-Platz 1, 06844 Dessau-Roßlau, Germany

Photo Lab – Analogue Negative Enlargement
// Bauhaus Building
Sat, 8 Apr 2023 (booked out)

This Saturday workshop deals with the basics of analogue photography. We invite all photography fans to the historic Bauhaus Building – whether professionals, semi-professionals or anyone who dreams of becoming one. Here in the photo lab a three-hour-long workshop will demonstrate the basics about negative enlargement. We shall show you how to enlarge analogue negatives yourself and what you need in order to do this. Participants are welcome to bring their own negative strips to the workshop!

Workshop leader: Leo Speelmans, Mediator / Cologne

Dancing like Schlemmer!
// Bauhaus Building
Sat, 13 May 2023

During his time as head of the stage workshop at the Bauhaus Dessau between 1926 and 1929, Oskar Schlemmer worked together with students on various movement and stage studies, which he later called "Bauhaus dances". Based on these small scenes, in which experimental movement sequences were tested in the field of tension between body, objects and space, the Open Workshop offers a movement workshop in May. On the historical Bauhaus stage, participants will try out how certain materials influence their movements.

Workshop leader: Matthias Lipeck and Kilian Gärtner, Mediator / Leipzig

Moving Image Blackbox
// Bauhaus Museum Dessau
Sat, 10 June 2023

The participants of the workshop in the museum will produce short film clips, small productions and documentary drafts that deal with the body and movement. The digital space becomes a black box in which short clips are created and discussed. Mobile phones, digital cameras or tablets will be used. Together, images are recombined and new directions of interpretation are developed. No previous knowledge is required for the workshop.

Workshop leader: Jos Diegel, Multimedia Artist / Leipzig

Move and Film
// Bauhaus Museum Dessau
Sat, 8 July 2023

In the film workshop with Jos Diegel, 35mm films, including industrial and advertising films, film trailers and short films will be misappropriated to create a film of their own. 35mm film strips are reassembled with the film cutter and edited by hand with pens, brushes, paints, spatulas, scissors and adhesive pictures. The film strips and film snippets created in the workshop are put together to form a film reel, resulting in a creative and abstract short film. The commercial film result will be digitised and made accessible later.

Workshop leader: Jos Diegel, Multimedia Artist / Leipzig
