Scenography as New Ideology in Contemporary Curating and the Notion of Staging in Exhibitions
Immersive design experiences nowadays? Can we trace the origins? In the frontier of the museums & public exhibitions, a contemporary artistic practice, SCENOGRAPHY, has grew out from the theatre context and keeps expanding its influence in the design in the rise of experience economy.
This project aims to exploit a new discussion in the intersection between scenographic practice and contemporary design curating, its mergence and revolution. By seeing museums and exhibition spaces as metaphorical stages, it fundamentally reconfigures the infrastructure of curating practices, in terms of authorship, architectural ideas, audience experience, layered narrative, dramaturgy and the hybrid expressions of new media design.
The book has received FOREWORD from the industry’s leading guru Professor Pamela Howard OBE in the UK as gracious support. It has now become permanent archive in several important academic research libraries in the UK, Germany, Prague, etc., also, is selling online world-widely including in Japan Kinokuniya.
