What?

Exhibition

During her Bauhaus Residency in 2022, Isa Rosenberger went on a search for traces in the Bauhaus Dessau art depot with contemporary dancer Celia Millan. This becomes the site and stage for a filmic-dance approach to two forgotten cultural protagonists.

The starting point of “Manda” was the presence of two women at the Bauhaus in 1928: the dancer and choreographer Manda von Kreibig, who developed the Stick Dance at the Bauhaus with Oskar Schlemmer, and the writer and women’s rights activist Lu Märten (The Artist, 1919). As early as 1914, Märten encouraged women to be aware of the social obstacles to their artistic activity and to act in a self-determined way.
 
In “Manda”, Isa Rosenberger interweaves her historical research with general and current questions about the memory of museums and their responsibility in this very process of writing history. Statements filmed on the historic Bauhaus stage in Dessau by Regina Bittner, cultural scientist, curator and director of the Academy of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, and Barbara Steiner, art historian, curator and director of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, complement the installation.
 
The title “Manda” not only refers to Manda von Kreibig but also means bequest, legacy or promise in Spanish. This is an indication that for Rosenberger, dealing with the past is always also a social mission from the deceased to the living.
 
In the exhibition, “Manda” is complemented by a second installation by Rosenberger: Espiral links Kurt Jooss' famous dance theatre piece The Green Table (1932), created in the context of the Weimar Republic and after the stock market crash of 1929, with the world financial crisis of 2007/2008.
 
In the exhibition, the separation between artwork and exhibition display dissolves; architecture, work and performance are interlinked. Wooden structures, curtains and furniture are part of the respective work and serve as a structuring element of the exhibition as well.
