Join AIGA Boston for a day of design inspiration at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. We will be introduced to the exhibit by MoMA Creative Director, Brian Bergeron, who will give us an exclusive talk on how museum exhibits and other events effect messaging and creative at the retail level. Directly following the talk we will go on to explore the "Bauhaus 1919–1933: Workshops for Modernity" exhibit. Afterwards you will be free to visit the many other inspiring exhibits* such as: Tim Burton; The New Typography; Irving Penn; Gabriel Orozco; and Monet's Waterlilies. Alternatively you can relax in the Bauhaus Lounge specially created for the Bauhaus exhibit. Please allow 1.5 hours for the discussion and viewing of the Bauhaus exhibit. The museum will be open until 5:30 PM.

*NOTE: You do not need to purchase separate tickets for other exhibits including the Tim Burton exhibit. Your group ticket through AIGA will be honored at the entrance to all exhibits at the museum.
 

About the exhibit
This survey is MoMA’s first major exhibition since 1938 on the subject of this famous and influential school of avant-garde art. The exhibition gathers over four hundred works that reflect the broad range of the school’s productions, including industrial design, furniture, architecture, graphics, photography, textiles, ceramics, theater design, painting, and sculpture, many of which have never before been exhibited in the United States. It includes not only works by the school’s famous faculty and best-known students including Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Herbert Bayer, Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Gropius, Vasily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, László Moholy-Nagy, Lucia Moholy, Lilly Reich, Oskar Schlemmer, and Gunta Stölzl but also a broad range of works by innovative but less well-known students, suggesting the collective nature of ideas. -MoMA Website excerpt

About the Bauhaus Lounge
Furnished with Bauhaus chairs, tables, couches, and other furniture, this lounge offers visitors a relaxing space to further explore the creative processes of Bauhaus artists. Visitors may consult a wide selection of books and catalogues, and enjoy screenings of documentary films that trace the history and development of the school, including Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet (1927) and the film of the reconstructions of Schlemmer's Bauhaus Dances of the 1920s (1982/84).
