Description
The publication “Learning/Unlearning from Bauhaus” documents works by students created in the first semester of the typography class at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. With a variety of methodological and experimental assignments, students were challenged to question the traditional notions of a “historical/canonized” Bauhaus and to explore new typographic approaches. The students wrote their own manifestos addressing questions of contemporary digital typography, created visual compositions and word sculptures with geometric forms and typographic material, constructed modular letterforms and alphabets, developed participatory games and performances with words and letters, and finally wrote a collective manifesto for the art academy of the future. “Learning/Unlearning from the Bauhaus” was produced in close collaboration with the print workshop at Burg Giebichenstein.
