[ES] En el Chicago de 1937 la New Bauhaus tomaría el testigo de la original creada por Gropius en 1919. Su
nombre ha variado, «Chicago School of Design», «Institute of Design», hasta integrarse en el «Illinois
Institute of Technology» actual. Un paréntesis entre dos guerras fue ocasión para el encuentro de diversos
creadores con un objetivo común, formar a otros artistas para «desear, proyectar y crear todos juntos la
nueva estructura del futuro», en palabras de Gropius. Su pretendido final, impuesto por un régimen
político, encontró su punto y aparte en un Estado democrático, dando pie no sólo a una iniciativa
mantenida institucionalmente en Illinois, sino inspirando otras fuera de las estructuras estatales, ejemplos
de alternativa creativa en el presente disenso de las culturas democráticas. Una culminación de todas ellas
se encuentra en la «Alliance of Artists Communities». En 1990, la Fundación MacArthur lanzaba un
proyecto para potenciar la diversidad artística y promover nuevos procesos creativos como cauces en la
mejora de la vida. Instituciones artísticas, comunidades, residencias de artistas, fueron convocadas al
«Special Initiative on Artists», origen de este consorcio internacional de comunidades artísticas. Una
brecha de pluralidad creativa y ocasión de enriquecimiento personal abierta frente al actual disenso
político.

[EN] In 1937 the New Bauhaus in Chicago would take the baton from the original one created by Gropius in
1919. Since then its name has changed, “Chicago School of Design”, “Institute of Design”, until it was
integrated into the current "Illinois Institute of Technology". A break between two wars turned into an
opportunity for various creators with a common goal, to train other artists to "wish, project and create
together the new structure of the future”, as Gropius said. Its intended end, imposed by a political regime,
found its continuity in a democratic state, where it gave rise not only to that one which was kept
institutionally in Illinois, but inspiring others, outside the state structures, examples of a creative alternative
inside the current dissent of democratic cultures. The current “Alliance of Artists Communities” is a
culmination of all of them. In 1990 the MacArthur Foundation launched a project to enhance the artistic
diversity and to promote new creative processes as channels for the improvement of life. Artistic
institutions, communities, residences of artists, were invited to the “Special Initiative on Artists”, which
was the origin of this international consortium of artistic communities. It was a gap of creative plurality
and at the same time an occasion to open personal enrichment against the current political dissent.
