If you’re in NYC, the Friedrich Kiesler exhibition at the Jewish Museum is one of the most boggling exhibitions I’ve ever seen. I knew he was fascinating, but I can’t think of anyone else who sat at the nexus of so many cultural transformations: surrealism, ergonomics, architecture, vitalism, education, theatrical design, and — for lack of a better word — the emerging cultures of diagrammatics. It closes in a few days, so run don’t walk — and leave time, because it takes time. The explanatory texts only scratch the surface of what he was up to.
