The exhibition Bauhaus – Networking Ideas and Practice (BAUNET)
presents the work of artists, architects and designers from Croatia and
the region who studied at the Bauhaus, the most influential
international art school: Otti Berger, Ivana Tomljenović and Gustav
Bohutinsky from Croatia, Avgust Černigoj from Slovenia, and Selman
Selmanagić from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Apart from the students' works,
the works of their teachers, renowned artists who lectured and led
workshops at the Bauhaus, are also presented: Marcel Breuer, Wassily
Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Hannes Meyer, Lászlo Moholy-Nagy, and Oskar
Schlemmer. The exhibition also includes the concepts and educational
methods of the school.

As the exhibition covers the period from 1919 (the founding of the
Bauhaus in Weimar) to 1961 (the erection of the Berlin Wall), it also
traces and presents the influences of the Bauhaus on post-war
contemporary art, design and architecture, with a special focus on the
Zagreb EXAT 51 group, the architecture practice of the Bauhaus student
Hubert Hoffmann in Graz, and the B Course in Ljubljana.

The exhibition consists of more than 300 works in different media—from
paintings, prints, drawings, objects, architecture blueprints and
models, to textiles and furniture, photography and film, gathered for
the occasion from Croatian and international museum collections: the
Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Arts and Crafts and Zagreb
City Museum, all in Zagreb; Bauhaus-Archiv Berlin, Stiftung Bauhaus
Dessau, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Karl Peter Röhl Stiftung, Weimar,
Theaterwissenschaftliche Sammlung der Universität zu Köln, the Slovenian 
Theatre Institute, Ljubljana, the Museum of Architecture and Design, 
Ljubljana, the Avgust Černigoj Gallery Lipica, and the National Museum, 
Belgrade.

Works from private collections are also included: the Private Archive of 
Selman Selmanagić, Berlin, the Daimler Art Collection, Berlin, the
Private Archive of Gustav Bohutinsky, Zagreb, while the Marie-Luise
Betlheim Collection, Zagreb is given special focus and exhibited in its
entirety.

The curator of the exhibition is Vesna Meštrić, Senior Curator at the
MSU and Coordinator of the BAUNET project, while the attractively
designed exhibition display is conceived by Vladimir Končar, Studio
Revolucija, Zagreb, author of the visual identity and website
<http://www.baunet-info.com> of the BAUNET project.

The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive, richly illustrated
catalogue in Croatian and English, edited by Jadranka Vinterhalter,
published by MSU Zagreb, featuring 26 articles written by Croatian and
international experts in avant-garde and modern art, who are
participants in the BAUNET project: Aida Abadžić Hodžić, Dubravko Bačić,
