£10-£12
until 12 Aug 12
This is one of my very few negative posts, for which I apologise in advance. Since the exhibition though is a paid one, I thought that a balancing view might be of benefit to some.
So there it is..I was utterly dissapointed by the lack of narrative. The curation was tiringly safe and unchallenging, consciously avoiding the political and design context the Bauhaus challenged and the implications that this challenge caused. For a movement/school that had to close down and migrate by the then authorities, this exhibition seems like a desperate effort to institutionalise a thoroughly lowbreaking past.
