Unboxing Bauhaus
Unboxing Bauhaus is a multi-site exhibition by students of Fine Arts and Visual Communication at Bauhaus Universität Weimar, presented in KunstHaus Potsdam and Kunstraum Potsdam from 27 July to 24 August 2025. The project brings together painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and performance, developed both in advance and during a ten-day residency in the city.
The visual identity, designed by Ossian Osborne, Lilli Sörries and Annemarie Grund, makes extensive use of G2 Airdancer by Gruppo Due. Multiple cuts of the typeface are used and switched mid-word, creating a lively and highly dynamic typographic system. This shifting rhythm mirrors the exhibition’s premise of reframing perspectives and opening artistic processes to public view.
The designers expanded the exhibition’s central motif, the moving box, into a set of playful and oversized visual scenes. Boxes on trucks and billboards suggest the idea of the Bauhaus leaving its familiar bubble and entering new contexts, echoing the title Unboxing Bauhaus.
