2019 marked the centenary of the founding of the Bauhaus.
The lecture “Bauhaus and the Old Norse” by artists
Sebastian Makonnen Kjølaas, Siri Hjorth, and
Mikael D. Brkić, was presented as part of this centenary,
at the pre-opening of the Bauhaus Museum, organised by
the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, in which the new museum
building was accessible to visitors for the first time, with a
varied programme of music, performances and conversations.
Hjorth, Kjølaas and Brkic performed the lecture as the
Old Norse goddess Frøya, and her two cats. The lecture dealt
with the pedagogical, architectural and performative
concepts of the Bauhaus from the perspective of Old Norse
mythology.
