Raoul Hausmann was one of the most innovative avant-garde artists of the modernist era. Art and life, in his view, were inextricably connected. As a Dadaist he was among those who invented collage, but he also devised synaesthetic apparatus, penned experimental texts, gave performances that explored the relationship between body, sound and space, and merged the visual with the haptic in his photography. Throughout his life, not only in his art but also in his quest for new ways to live and to think the world, he was eager to break free of convention and swim against the bourgeois tide. The big retrospective at the Berlinische Galerie, featuring some 200 works from collections in Germany and abroad, will showcase this multi-facetted and pioneering creativity which so influenced subsequent generations of artists and place it in the context of current discourse.
