> Bauhaus Museum Dessau, Open Stage

New York based artist Lucy Raven won the Kunst am Bau competition for the Bauhaus Museum Dessau with her dynamic installation Lichtspielhaus, which consists of floor-to-ceiling glass panels in different colors: a work of art in motion!

Admission free.

Moderation: Prof Dr Peter Bernhard

The reading is part of the Conference Collecting Bauhaus.
