Bauhaus
Bauhaus was a groundbreaking institution for art, architecture, and design, founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius in Weimar, Germany.
The Bauhaus teaching approach replaced the traditional teacher-student dynamic with a collaborative community of artists. Its goal was to reconnect art with everyday life, giving equal importance to architecture, performing arts, design, and applied arts alongside fine art.
The name ‘Bauhaus’ combines the German words for ‘building’ (bau) and ‘house’ (haus), perhaps suggesting a collective effort to construct a new society. Prominent teachers included Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, and Josef Albers.

Cui Jie constructs a futuristic vision of China’s rapid urbanisation.The sun hangs low over Shanghai Federation of Industry & Commerce Building, drawing upon the artist’s experience of growing up in the city. Multiple perspectives collide on one plane, showing glitches of what lies beyond the building’s present facade. The silkscreen print synthesises an array of aesthetics – from Bauhaus and Soviet propaganda, to urban futurism. Using coloured pencil Cui adds hand-drawn birds to each print, her soft hued birds adorn the surface against the shiny metallics of the architecture.
