Friday, January 22, 2010 10:00 AM–5:00 PM The legacy of the Bauhaus has been shaped by the tides of the twentieth century. After the school’s forced closing in 1933, many of its faculty and students left Germany for the Americas, Palestine, South Africa, and elsewhere. Through this diaspora, varied understandings of the Bauhaus proliferated, and over many years it served as a key symbol in intellectual and political debates around the world. In the United States, Bauhaus émigrés were influential teachers of several generations of art and architecture students, both drawing on and transforming pedagogical principles developed at the school. In both parts of divided postwar Germany, the Bauhaus played a weighty symbolic role as an emblem of the aspirations of a new German democratic state. In this one-day symposium, scholars offer new perspectives on aspects of the international legacy of the Bauhaus after 1933 through individual presentations and conversations.

January 10, 2009 10:00 a.m–4:45 p.m. To mark the close of the exhibition Joan Miró: Painting and Anti-Painting 1927–1937, MoMA hosts a daylong symposium to consider issues surrounding the artist's creative production during a transformative decade within his long career. A distinguished group of international scholars offer new approaches to this period of the artist's work, examining its relation to the crisis of painting in Surrealism, the specific nature of the French and Catalan avant-gardes of the time, and the broader sociopolitical situation that emerged in Europe as the 1920s came to an end and the political tensions that would lead to World War II became increasingly apparent. Participants include Dawn Ades, Professor of Art History and Theory at the University of Essex, and Co-Director of the Centre for Studies of Surrealism and its Legacies; Juan José Lahuerta, Professor, History of Art, Escola Técnica Superior d'Arquitectura, Barcelona; Susan Laxton, art historian (PhD, Columbia University); David
