Bauhaus: Utopia in Crisis explored how contemporary practitioners have been drawn to the social, utopian and transgressive aspects of Bauhaus history. The exhibition at Camberwell Space was part of the UAL: OurHaus festival, which Sturgis convened to coincide with Bauhaus 100, the international celebration of the famous Bauhaus design school’s centenary. The diverse collection of artworks presented in this exhibition investigated the ways in which artists today are reframing the Bauhaus’s modernist legacy as one which includes political and subjective resistance. As such, Bauhaus: Utopia in Crisis addressed how artistic legacies intersect with contemporary concerns through understanding that the Bauhaus was a complicated interweaving of different positions and personalities and never a truly unified project.
