«The editors of this provocative and stimulating collection of essays use the concepts of scenography and art history to mutually challenge and expand the analytic potential of each to provide important new strategies for exploring the increasingly complex world of contemporary art.»
Marvin Carlson, Distinguished Professor, Theatre and Performance, CUNY, USA
«The essays collected in the present volume shift the conversation with scenography away from definitions, and this opens terminology—scenography, scenographics—but also theoretical parameters. … The anthology seeks to give scenography its voice and in so doing, challenges easy boundaries between disciplines and forges new methodologies for thinking with and through scenographic agency. … Scenography and Art History opens its dialogue with art and its histories … at a time when reconceiving the material and imaginative encounters between times, spaces and bodies has never been more urgent and necessary.»
Marsha Meskimmon, Professor of Transnational Art and Feminism, and Director of the Institute of Adva
«A book devoted to the interfaces of scenography and art history is long overdue for numerous reasons. ... As the authors deftly argue, art history has been as ready to dismiss scenography on the same grounds that, until recently, allowed theatre and performance scholars to brush it off as purely decorative (as a practice) or vocational (as a form of thinking). The marriage of these subjects is, consequently, a welcome and exciting addition to the growing library of scenography scholarship and its many possible futures beyond theatre.»
