this exhibition is the first to explore mexico’s impact on these visionary artists and designers. it takes its title from a quote by clara porset, a political exile from cuba who became one of mexico’s most prominent modern furniture designers. influenced by bauhaus ideas, she believed that design could reshape cities, elevate the quality of life, and solve large-scale social problems. this approach informed her 1952 exhibition art in daily life, in whose catalogue she wrote, “there is design in everything … in a cloud, in a wall, in a chair, in the sea, in the sand, in a pot,” encouraging us to look at both the natural and machine world for inspiration and ideas.
the bauhaus at 100. the whole world a bauhaus is divided into eight different chapters, each focusing on an aspect of work and life at the bauhaus during its operation: art, crafts, and technology; floating; community; encounters; the total work of art; new man; radical pedagogy; and experiment.
