The Festival of the New European Bauhaus

In the context of the Beyond Matter project, ZKM | Karlsruhe will participate in the first edition of the New European Bauhaus Festival. A lightweight version of the “Immaterial Display” will make a special stopover at the festival fairgrounds where it will be on view in Brussels (Gare Maritime) from 9 to 12 June 2022. The festival format is composed of both live and online formats.

The “Immaterial Display” enables curators and museum professionals to simulate physical aspects of the spaces in which the exhibitions “Les Immatériaux” (Centre Pompidou, 1985) and “Iconoclash” (ZKM | Karlsruhe, 2002) were originally hosted. Audiences can explore the reconstructions of the past exhibitions, the archival material and enjoy an immersive and novel approach to digital exhibition practices.

Marianne Schädler will be representing the project live on location and participating in the panel discussion SHOWCASE: Creative Europe Projects in dialogue with New European Bauhaus alongside representatives of other projects backed by the Creative Europe Programme. This side event of the Creative Europe Desk will take place on 11th June from 15:15-16:15 in the Workshop Space of the festival grounds.

Attendance to the festival is free of charge, find out more about the program on the New European Bauhaus Festival website.
