Everyone knows Bauhaus: cradle of modernism, mother of big names, source of endless stories. And yet there is still more to discover. About Bauhaus, the podcast from the Bauhaus Archive / Museum of Design, returns with a new season and gets up close and personal. The first three episodes explore three major themes: love, technology, and society. A new perspective on the school that continues to inspire us is released every third Thursday of the month. Art historian Adriana Kapsreiter, together with changing guests from the worlds of art, culture, and science, transforms Bauhaus into a sounding board for big questions. The first episode focuses on love. Guests include Danielle de Picciotto, co-founder of the Love Parade, and musician Alexander Hacke, formerly of Einstürzende Neubauten. Together, they discuss passion in art and the famous couples of the Bauhaus. Episode two is dedicated to technology: What is a tool, what is a machine, and how does innovation transform the artistic process? The third episode, perhaps the most pressing, turns to society. Guest Inken Baller, one of Berlin’s most influential architects, reflects on her work in social housing construction and broader visions for living together. And the journey continues, from the social ideals of the New Building movement to playful experiments and connections with nature. Each episode opens a new door to the questions that preoccupied the Bauhaus 100 years ago and that still challenge us today. Fortunately, much has changed since then.
