1924 Internationale Ausstellung neuer Theatertechnik, Vienna

Kiesler organises the International Exhibition of New Theatre Techniques as part of the Music and Theatre Festival of the City of Vienna. For this exhibition, Kiesler collects approximately hundreds of concepts for theatre as well as drafts for set design and costume design, posters and models by the avant-garde from Russia, Italy, Germany, France, Austria. For the exhibition design he creates the L+T System a flexible and independent form of presenting objects and paintings. Kiesler creates the poster, the catalogue, the admission ticket and the stationary for the exhibition, which follow, in their typographical design, a uniform constructivist concept. For this exhibition Kiesler designs the Space Stage and comments on it in the catalogue:

'The Space Stage of the Railway-Theatre, the contemporary form of theatre, is floating in space. The ground floor is only the support for the open construction. The audience is circulating in electro-magnetic movements around the core of the stage.'
