From
aesthetic promenades in noble palaces to the performativity of
religious apparatus, this edited volume reconsiders some of the events,
habits and spaces that contributed to defining exhibition practices and
shaping the imagery of the exhibition space in the early modern period.
The
contributors encourage connections between art history, exhibition
studies, and architectural history, and explore micro-histories and
long-term changes in order to open new perspectives for studying these
pioneering exhibition-making practices. Aiming to understand what spaces
have done and still do to art, the book explores an underdeveloped area
in the field that has yet to trace its interdisciplinary nature and
understand its place in the history of art.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, exhibition history, and architectural history.
