Kiesler: Life Visions

Believing that art, architecture and design serve to promote health and the wellbeing of society, Frederick Kiesler left a legacy fully presented at the MAK in Vienna.

In cooperation with the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation, and curated by Bärbel Vischer the MAK museum in Vienna presents “Life Visions”, a retrospective of Austrian-American artist Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965), who fascinated his contemporary generation of artists and architects with his revolutionary, utopian ideas.

The transdisciplinary contributions made by Frederick Kiesler – designer, architect, set and exhibition designer – continue to influence the European and American avantgarde still today. The exhibition highlights his out-of-the-box thinking, his theory of Correalism, which he used to thematize the relationship between artwork, human, and environment, as well as his activities as an architect and exhibition designer.
