Beyond Bauhaus

We worked with Providence College Galleries (PCG) on a series of digital and printed assets for their program Beyond Bauhaus. Beyond Bauhaus was a more than yearlong series of exhibitions, publications and commissioned installations featuring contemporary artists whose practices are inspired by or respondent to the history of Bauhaus (1919-1933), the German art school so influential on modern art, architecture, craft, design and education. Beyond Bauhaus coincides with the centennial of the founding of the Bauhaus, which left a legacy based on radical experimentation in all the arts.

Our approach was to use a color palette and fonts that nodded to the modernist aesthetic of the Bauhaus movement without feeling like a pastiche. A template format for the exhibition program and poster was established and customized for each presentation that drew on the branding for the galleries while also allowing the Beyond Bauhaus to feel like a stand-alone project.
