Frederick Kiesler's Theatrum Mundi at Centre Pompidou
The Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris is staging an exhibition dedicated to architect Frederick Kiesler (1896-1966) from July 3 to October 21, 1996. The show, designed by Zvi Hecker, focuses on Kiesler's unfinished final project, the horse Bucephalus, which embodies a Dadaist spirit—more real and less theoretical than Pegasus. The exhibition explores Kiesler's commitment to spatializing avant-garde fantasies.
