Book Presentation & Talk

💕Marina Vinnik. Object-Oriented Bauhaus💕

We warmly invite you to the book presentation and discussion Object-Oriented Bauhaus with author .vinnik . The event will be moderated by Adam Bobeck. ♡  We’re really looking forward to the event. ♡

In Object-Oriented Bauhaus, there is an attempt to look at the Bauhaus History with the lens of object-oriented ontology (OOO) and vibrant materialism. Moving beyond the canonical focus on male architects and master narratives of “form following function”, the book shifts attention to the phenomena of Bauhaus itself and over looked material practices, especially textile work.

Bringing feminist historiography into conversation with object-oriented ontology and vibrant materialism, the book asks: What happens when we decenter the human in Bauhaus history? How might we understand Bauhaus not only as a celebrated movement of modernist innovation, but as a complex ecosystem of materials, structures, and overlooked bodies? The book contains interviews with such prominent philosophers and theoreticians as Graham Harman, Jane Bennett and T’ai  Smith. As well as artists Judith Raum and Andrea Garcia Vasquez.

Object-Oriented Bauhaus was created both as a publication and as a video essay, offering flexible and engaging possibilities for presenting the book.
