At the turn of the 1980s, in Germany (formerly the FRG), young artists born in the immediate post-war period shattered the principles inherited from the Bauhaus. Critics of functionalism and \u2018good form\u2019, they produced objects on the borderline between art and design, with a strong symbolic and political dimension. Their motto: \u2018form follows free will\u2019. Using recycled materials and construction materials such as concrete and steel, they create a post-industrial aesthetic based on a Do it yourself approach and a desire to break down the barriers between disciplines. Resolutely iconoclastic and technically and formally inventive, their work quickly found an echo in a Europe that was about to witness one of the major events of the twentieth century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12293,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Exhibition : 'Breaking the wall: German avant-garde design in the 80s\u2019","_seopress_titles_desc":"Breaking the wall: German avant-garde design in the 1980s\u2019 exhibition \/ 30 May to 29 June 2024 \/ Galerie Romain Morandi","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-expositions-en","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
