In the exhibition ‘The New Man, The Announcer, The Constructor. El Lissitzky: Self-Portrait as the Kestner Gesellschaft’, the association traced its origins and avant-garde mission. The show presented works by El Lissitzky, who was intensely occupied with developing a language and aesthetics for a new society and whose legendary first solo exhibition was staged here in 1923, alongside important contemporaries, and pieces by present-day artists. For our exhibition architecture, we started by identifying the characteristics and potential of each space and combining these into a spatial continuum that would permit the works to optimally unfold while revealing the “relationships” and associative connections between them, beyond any barriers between the different spaces and levels.
