Contemporary Scenography investigates scenographic concepts,
practices and aesthetics in Germany from 1989 to the present.
Facing the end of the political divide, the advent of the digital
age and the challenges of globalization, German-based designers and
scenographers have reacted in a variety of ways to these shifts in
the cultural landscape. The edited volume, a compilation of 12
original chapters written in collaboration with acclaimed
scenographers, stage designers and distinguished scholars, offers
fresh insights and in-depth analyses of current artistic concepts,
discourse and innovation in this multifaceted, dynamic field. The
book covers a broad spectrum of scenography, including theatre
works by Katrin Brack, Bert Neumann, Aleksandar Denic, Klaus
Grünberg, Vinge/Müller and Rimini Protokoll, in addition to
scenography in museums, exhibitions, social spaces and in various
urban contexts. Presenting a range of perspectives, the volume
explores the interdisciplinarity of contemporary scenography and
its ongoing diversification, raising questions relating to cultural
heritage, genre and media specificity, knowledge transfer, local
versus global practices, internationalization and cultural
exchange. Combined with a set of stimulating examples of
scenographic design in action – presented through interviews,
artists’ statements and case studies – the contributors develop
a theoretical framework for understanding scenography as an art
practice and discourse.
