In-Focus Talk: Gropius and Schawinsky, Bauhaus and Black Mountain

Join us for a gallery talk by Robert Wiesenberger, the Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum, as he discusses continuity and change from the Bauhaus in Germany to Black Mountain College in North Carolina. He will focus on an architectural proposal by Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer for the Black Mountain College campus, as well as on the work of Bauhaus artist Xanti Schawinsky at Black Mountain.

Please meet in the Calderwood Courtyard, in front of the digital screens between the shop and the admissions desk.

Free with museums admission. This talk is limited to 15 people and is available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration required.

In-Focus gallery talks are offered by curators, conservators, fellows, and other museums staff; they focus on aspects of the installation process, exploring both intellectual and more practical considerations. Museums staff will, for example, tease out arguments at play in the galleries, discuss conservation treatments, look closely at specific collections, or draw connections between works of art throughout the museums.
