Description:
The book breaks new ground by looking at the exhibition as a cultural format firstly within a great sweep of the arts in general, weaving a web of philosophical, museological, linguistic and media-theoretical references, which expands the contextual field of the profession. It then offers unique and important insights from within, in extreme close-up, by bringing together interviews with six of the leading exhibition designers who discuss the dynamics of the medium, its interactive dimensions, the soft parameters of the exhibition, and how to get to grips with the format as a complex narrative space, in which the public takes part. Curator and designer should reposition themselves professionally at the heart of the axis, which divides (or connects) content and form. Interviews with: Herman Kossmann and Mark de Jong; with Dinah Casson and Roger Mann; Françoise Confino; with Ruedi Baur; with Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler; with Uwe R. Brückner. -- Ausstellung -- Szenografie -- Theorie
