Bauhaus Lab Marseille

To mark the 90th anniversary of the Bauhaus School, our non-profit organization, émaho, is organizing the bauhaus lab marseille, an interdisciplinary laboratory together with the Architectural Association (London), the C3 Center for Culture and Communication (Budapest), E-werk (Weimar ), TheaterHaus Jena (Jena), the city of Weimar and with the support of the Culture Programme of the European Union 2007-2013.
The bauhaus lab marseille proposes an art residency inspired by Moholy-Nagy’s journey to Marseilles in 1929. His experimental film "Marseille Vieux-Port" will be the starting point for a reflection led by resident artists. Marseille’s urban development, a contemporary reinterpretation of the Bauhaus, and interdisciplinarity will also be discussed. A lecture programme orchestrated by actors from various fields of the arts, architecture and urbanism will feed this research process.

To stimulate the exchange of ideas and interaction with local communities, the bauhaus lab marseille will offer each artist the opportunity to conduct a multimedia workshop for young people with professional supervision.
A final exhibition open to the public will feature the results of this reflection and creativity.

To host this event, the bauhaus lab marseille proposes to create a polymorphic space at La Friche de la Belle de Mai, the cultural hub of Marseille. An architectural competition is open to create this itinerant cultural centre.
