L'affirmation de nouveaux espaces de l'art : expériences et limites

One of the challenges for Ounovis, a collective that grew up in Vitebsk around Kazimir Malevich advocating "the assertion of new forms in art", was to incorporate space as a component of the work. This meant seeking freedom from the material constraints of objects and the illusionist weight of images. El Lissitzky in particular focused on this search for a new experience of the space, exploring it in his Prouns and "demonstration areas" in his writings, while indirectly encouraging Malevich to form a theory on the conditions for an objectless architecture.
