Editor: This is a wallpaper sample from the Bauhaus Wall-painting Workshop. It's a gridded design in shades of orange. It feels surprisingly modern. What does it say to you? Curator: This sample embodies the Bauhaus ethos of uniting art, craft, and technology to reimagine everyday life. It questions the hierarchy between fine art and design by embracing mass production, while the grid reflects a utopian desire for order, equality, and standardization in a rapidly changing society. What do you think about that? Editor: I never considered the social aspect of standardization in design. That's something to consider! Curator: Exactly. Even something as seemingly simple as wallpaper can be a potent reflection of its historical and political moment.
