What do the questions of the modernist era mean to today's designers, artists and photographers? Since 2000, the International Marianne Brandt Contest in Chemnitz has been asking how the design debates that influenced the historical Bauhaus and the Bauhaus artist/designer Marianne Brandt can be made productive today. In 2016, the topic was "material effects," which posed the question: How does material inspire design? For this book (and the exhibition at the Chemnitz Industry Museum it accompanies), 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 works into an extensive material discourse.
