We presented our ideas on scenography and art history at the National Art Historians conference, this year held at the University of Gothenburg.

We had the pleasure to introduce our fortcoming publication: Scenography and Art History: Performance Design and Visual Culture. The book reimagines scenography as a critical concept for art history, and is the first book to demonstrate the importance and usefulness of this concept for art historians and scholars in related fields.
