The exhibition Bauhaus Ecologies – Webs of Continuity opens up with the question whether the historical Bauhaus can be read from an ecological perspective.

Within this framework, ecology is establishing connections between materials, technology and social conditions, and recycling becomes an essential method for reading and connecting artworks, the way in which forms and methods of the modernism were introduced in the art practice from the second half of the 20th century until today.
