The event “Bauhaus Psychology – Workshop with Robert Wilson” explores the convoluted paths of reception and the various fields of application of the Bauhaus psychology that can be associated with the Bauhaus master Gertrud Grunow. In dialogue with Robert Wilson, who studied with Sybil Moholy-Nagy, among others, the contents of this psychology will be secured and its perspectives discussed. A key issue is the body, its movements and its intensities, and how a corresponding theory (and practice) of balancing can be continued today – in architecture and art, but also in dance, theater, and film. The workshop takes place in cooperation with the Kunstfest Weimar, which is hosting the coproduction of the drama “UBU” with its German premiere on 23th august, and in the context of the centenary of the Weimar Bauhaus Exhibition 2023. Contributors include Robert Wilson (theater director, visual artist, architect), Henning Schmidgen (psychologist and media theorist, professor at the Bauhaus University, Weimar), Jenny Brockmann (artist), Ute Ackermann (art historian, curator at the Bauhaus Museum, Weimar), Paulina Olszewska (art scholar, curator at Galeria Studio, Warsaw).
