Neue Galerie Archtober Filmbar Special: “Bauhaus His/Herstories”

In celebration of Archtober, Neue Galerie New York is delighted to present a special Archtober Filmbar with a series of documentaries and feature films highlighting different aspects of one of the most influential architecture schools of the 20th century: The Bauhaus. Join us on a journey from the movement’s dedication to formalistic perfectionism to its impact on the rise of female stars who are literally—and figuratively—changing the landscape. Filmbar tickets include one complimentary drink and snack, and a movie screening in Café Fledermaus, a relaxed bar atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th century Vienna. During the screening, you are invited to sip on a glass of wine, beer or a non-alcoholic beverage and enjoy a savory treat.

Double Feature -

Women of the Bauhaus & Making Space
Directed by Susanne Radelhof (2018) In German; English subtitles. 45 min.
Bauhaus is the home of the avant-garde and the foundation of modern architecture. Today, almost 100 years after being founded, the Bauhaus masters continue to be the stars of architecture and design history. However, the (his)story of the Bauhaus remains male-dominated. Only experts know the names of the female contributors of the art school, even though a great part of its innovative potential goes to its women. The documentary "Bauhausfrauen" is an homage to the forgotten Bauhauswomen and shows the Bauhaus idea is alive and is also HERstory.

Making Space

Directed by Ultan Guilfoyle (2014), 50 min.
For the first time in history, women are creating some of the most exciting architectural designs in the world. How have they navigated their way to the top? What is the nature of their creative process? Are there gender differences in architectural design?
Making Space is a documentary film about five dynamic and accomplished female architects: Annabelle Selldorf (New York), Marianne McKenna (Toronto), Kathryn Gustafson (Seattle and London), Farshid Moussavi (London), and Odile Decq (Paris), all of whom are transforming the landscape of the 21st Century.
