Clemens Tissi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clemens Tissi (born March 18, 1963 in Schaffhausen ; † August 5, 2016 in Berlin ) was a German furniture designer and architect of Swiss origin.

Life

Clemens Tissi was born in 1963 into a Swiss family of musicians and architects. He moved to Paris at the age of 17 and built his first house at the age of 20. After moving to Berlin in the mid-1990s , he ran a design gallery on Alte Schönhauser Strasse together with Hans-Peter Jochum , until after five years he opened his own gallery on Potsdamer Strasse . He closed this in 2010.

The Berliner received attention in 2013 with his exhibition AZ 1670 , the name of which goes back to the flight number of an Alitalia flight. The plane went off the runway in Rome on February 2, 2013 and was unable to maneuver, which is why it was painted over white by employees of the airline in the middle of the night so that the logos could no longer be seen. In a figurative sense, Tissi wanted to "make the hidden visible" in this exhibition.

In 2015 Tissi was also responsible for the exhibition architecture for the new presentation of the Bauhaus archive in Berlin.

On August 5, 2016, Clemens Tissi died after a long illness.
