With the POWER HOUSE exhibition, nova space – the university gallery of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar æ will move into the Schiller-Museum in 2023 to mark the 100th anniversary of the first Bauhaus exhibition. Nova space will present a programme for several months that bundles the creative energies from the four faculties. This will provide a platform for contemporary art, design, architecture and research to come into contact with external guests and visitors.

Under the title »HOME ZONE – Francis Zeischegg & Friends«, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar gallery, which currently resides in the rooms of the Kunsthaus Erfurt, presents the works of long-time the lecturer of the Faculty of Art and Design. On display will be works from the past ten years, which will be set in relation to works by »friends«, students and colleagues who have influenced Francis Zeischegg.

Under the title »Spooky Actions«, seven artists from the Faculty of Art and Design who combine their work with practical and/or scientific research will be exhibiting in the temporary gallery space of »nova space« in Erfurt from Wednesday, 29 June 2022. The exhibition is part of the comprehensive programme of the International Annual Conference of the Society for Artistic Research (SAR), which will be hosted by Bauhaus-Universität Weimar from 30 June to 3 July 2022.

On Wednesday, 22 June 2022, from 2 to 4 p.m., anyone interested can find out more about the University Gallery »Nova Art Space«. Come by and ask your questions - we look forward to seeing you!

On 27 April 2022, the first of a total of four exhibitions will open at Kunsthaus Erfurt, the temporary exhibition spaces of the »NOVA art space«. The group exhibition »SPACE, ACTIVATE!«, which relates works by students and alumni of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar to three renowned international positions, will kick off the exhibition. It is dedicated to performative and collaborative practices and focuses on artistic works that literally activate and charge the newly acquired spaces with energy by means of performances and actions.

With the start of the 2022 summer semester, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will take a decisive step towards having its own university gallery: from April, the university will temporarily use the exhibition rooms of the Kunsthaus Erfurt.
