Hosted by TWM Theaterwissenschaft der LMU München

In the diversity of its forms, contemporary scenography emerges primarily not as a visual art but rather as a spatial art, in which media, objects and scenographic constellations do not figure as a mere backdrop or décor, rather they are actors and ›non-human agents‹ (Latour) within performative processes. It is in this way that scenographic practices shape our spatial experience and perception.

This conference – in addition to discussing questions of aesthetics of reception – aims to reflect on artistic aesthetics of production by looking at draft and rehearsal processes, spatial and visual concepts, scenographic tools (models, visual storyboards, computer-aided directing etc.), various forms of notation and the question of ›scenographic knowledge‹. How do stage design, scenographic design as well as the related artwork come about, and what kinds of knowledge are expressed on both process and final outcome?

Unter dem Titel »Die Kunst der Szenographie. Ästhetik und Episteme« widmet sich diese Konferenz dem Szenographischen im Spannungsfeld zwischen Produktion und Rezeption: Gefragt wird nach Entwurfspraktiken, Gestaltungsprozessen und ›szenographischem Wissen‹. Wie entsteht ein Bühnenbild, eine Szenographie und welches Denken über Räume, welches Gestaltungswissen drückt sich darin aus?
