Visit to the exhibition “Arktis” at Technival University:

Visit to Luckenwalde and Jüterbog 7 June:

We wanted to visit E-werk to see the video Love Is the Message, The Message Is Death, by Arthur Jafa (we, or at least I, actually thought there was an entire exhibition around it, but there was not, so the venue was more intersting).

With Luckenwalde itself cordoned off by some kind of village feast, there was nothing much else to do than to proceed to Jüterbog, on my list of places to visit, so we took a bus, during quite a heavy rainfall, to what turned out to be a quaint old town centre witha well-preserved city wall and lots of towers and gates which I will return to photograph later when it is not raining. Maybe. Very dull town despite the fact that this was a Saturday.

First and last photo are smartphone snaps.

Visit to Dessau to look at Bauhaus landmarks 10 June

A list of Bauhaus buildings in Dessau can be found here.

Thunderstorms were looming, so I did not make it to the Törten Housing Estate in the south, nor to the Kornhouse restaurant in the north. Nor did I go into the Bauhaus Museum (HUGE!), so there is enough for another visit (and I have not even mentioned the TIerpark ….

I got the first notable building I saw after coming off the train confused with the “historical job center” (designed by Walter Gropius, last Bauhaus photo in this post), and later realised it is not Bauhaus (but perhaps Bauhaus-inspired? and I still like it:

Next up was Bauhaus. I was happy to see they have joined the 21st century and ditched the stupid lawnmowers and awful, unsustainable lawns:

The Masters’ Houses:

And finally, the – HUGE – Bauhaus Museum, and the historical job centre:
