Overview

From 2019 to 2025, Weimar's Bauhaus University gallery nova space put up 21 projects, which this volume documents in image and text. As both an experimentation field and meeting place, nova connected international artists, students, faculty, and the public under the enthusiastic direction of curator Katharina Wendler. Her essay provides insight into the unique history of this mobile and interdisciplinary gallery, as well as into the many improvisations necessary to operate it and to develop new curatorial models. The final act of nova is an exhibition in book form, for which artists, architects, designers, typographers, and filmmakers were invited to create work that freely associates around the theme of BOOM!-- inspired by the image of the supernova.
