International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus

The International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus was a small European avant-garde artistic tendency that arose out of the breakup of CoBrA, and was initiated by contact between former CoBrA members Asger Jorn and Enrico Baj and Sergio Dangelo of the Nuclear Art Movement.

Timeline
• 1954: Jorn finds a copy of Potlatch, the information bulletin of the Letterist International at Baj's house. He then contacts Andre-Frank Connord, who puts him in contact with Guy Debord and Michèle Bernstein. • 29 September 1955: IMIB is founded in Alba, Italy by Jorn, Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio, and Piero Simondo. • July 1956: One issue of Eristica, edited by Simondo, appears. It was published by Giuseppe Gallizio and contains: "Form and structure" by Asger Jorn; "For a general theory of the figurative arts" by Pietro Simondo and "Architectural functions, of democratic destinations" by Elena Verrone. The editorial board included Enrico Baj, Tullio Albisola and Ettore Sottsass. • 28 July 1957: IMIB fused with the Letterist International and the London Psychogeographical Association to form the Situationist International.
