JOVIS Verlag Materialeffekte—Produktentwürfe, Fotografien, Versuchsanordnungen: 6. Internationaler Marianne Brandt Wettbewerb
Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) What do the questions of the classical modern era mean to today’s designers, artists, and photographers? Since 2000, the International Marianne Brandt Contest in Chemnitz has been asking the world how design debates that influenced the historical Bauhaus and therefore also the Chemnitz Bauhaus representative Marianne Brandt can be made productive today. In 2016, the topic was material effects, asking the question: “How does material inspire design?”. For the exhibition in the Chemnitz Industry Museum and for this book, 60 works by young designers and artists were selected from over 400 submissions from more than 30 countries in the categories “Experiments”, “Photography” and “Product designs.” Essays by Sophie Aigner, Chiara Isadora Artico, Patricio Farrell, Linda Pense, Steffen Reiter, Chiara Scarpitti, and Andy Scholz incorporate the presented works into an extensive material discourse.The sponsor of the competition is the art association Villa Arte e.V. Chemnitz. The competition is supported by the Industry Museum Chemnitz, Vitra GmbH and Smow GmbH, as well as the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony and the city of Chemnit

JOVIS Verlag Ich bin ganz von Glas: 7. Internationaler Marianne Brandt Wettbewerb
The topic of the 7th international Marianne Brandt Award—“I am all of glass”—quotes a poem by the Bauhaus member, designer and artist. This bilingual volume does more than merely present the sixty competition entries: accompanying texts convey the utopian charge held by glass as a material in Modernism. Linda Pense, for example, writes about historical “glass states” that continue to be inspiring today. Freyja Hartzell reflects on the ways in which fantasies of glass shaped the foundational vision of Bauhaus. Using the artist Josef Albers as an example, Jeannette Redensek illustrates the metaphorical and functional importance of glass in Bauhaus design. The tension between poetry and functionality, which also characterizes the competition entries, demonstrates that glass remains a fascinating concept and material to this day.
