Bauhaus N1: Artist (Bauhaus Magazine)

After 80 years it's back! BAUHAUS the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation's
magazine, anyway. Everything from the Bauhaus world: essays, interviews
and more. The first issue of bauhaus magazine was published in December
1926 to coincide with the opening of Walter Gropius's classic Bauhaus
building in Dessau. For five years, it reported on the most important
modern trends, with Gropius, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Ernst Kallai and
Hannes Meyer contributing as editors and texts from iconic figures such
as Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Hilberseimer.
The current Bauhaus Dessau Foundation is now publishing a new
magazine under the old name to cultivate the legacy of the historic
Bauhaus and, given the ideas and approaches of the historic Bauhaus,
to address issues of design in the present-day environment. The biannual
magazine aims to focus not only on activities in Dessau, but also on
those of an international network exploring issues of design. The
magazine itself provides a platform for contemporary design, choosing
a new graphic designer each year to produce two issues and making it
extra-covetable for lovers of the printed word. In this issue: This inaugural issue focuses on different figurations of 'the artist' figure as generalist, programmer, researcher, pedagogue, teacher, curator and aesthetician.
