Creative processes in the Avant-Garde Movements

Abstract

The 20th Century Avant-Garde Movements broke with the traditional distinction of artistic disciplines in favour to an ambiguous space where limits are diffuse. Exhibition space played a relevant role in this sense as a laboratory where art object and spectator are together in interaction, getting to experiences that, in many cases, transcend from the exhibition to disciplinary Architecture. Through the analysis of the Proun Space of El Lissitzky, constructed in 1923, and some of the most relevant proposals of Neplasticist authors, focusing on the creative and experimental process, contributions from Painting to Architecture are established. Some of them, partially shaded by the hegemony of Modern Movement, have been incorporated to 20th Century architectural projects and they are a significant chapter about interdisciplinary creative processes.
