Seeing Red: Lissitzky's Abstract Cabinet and the Ideology of Display

The article deals with El Lissitzky's activities in the area of organisation and installation of abstract art exhibits in the 1920s. The artist conceived the installations with a new experimental approach geared at creating an interactive space, reflecting Lissitzky's theoretical foundations. The artist was not only concerned with actively engaging the audience in the exhibition space but also with manifesting his own revolutionary conviction.
