'Bauhaus 1919 model kit' by Gonzalo Elvira

With this project, the Argentinian artist Gonzalo Elvira seeks to contextualize Bauhaus in the historical context of the interwar period. Its title hides a pun: 1919, the year that Walter Gropius founded the art school in Weimar - later moved to Dessau and then to Berlin, until its closure in 1934 by the Nazi regime and the book by Julio Cortazar 62 / Model Kit.

Art, architecture, design and research are combined in this exhibition represented by a series of drawings made in different media and techniques.

Gonzalo Elvira also puts the focus on the role played by women in the Bauhaus, which accounted for 30% of the students but who were not allowed to participate in workshops in blacksmithing, carpentry and architecture citing problems with the three-dimensionality.
