Scenography has been acting as a transformative force to reform the traditionalexhibitionary
complex. This has led to an unprecedented intersection wherescenography meets contemporary
curating which further informs a radical ideologicalshift in the frontier of the exhibition
scene. This book aims to exploit a new land ofdiscussion to look into this intersection between
scenographic practice andcontemporary curating its mergence and the subsequent revolution it
has caused. Byseeing museums and exhibition spaces as metaphorical stages it
fundamentallyreconfigures the infrastructure of curating practices in terms of a shift in
authorship architectural embodiment of ideas field of experience layered narrative
dramaturgy andthe hybrid expressions of new media. Three case studies will demonstrate
scenography swide-ranged methodologies in dealing with contemporary issues. Cases include:
BMWMuseum (Reopened in 2008) Cultures of the World (Opened in 2010) and Leonardo sLast Supper:
A Vision by Peter Greenaway (2008 2010). The discussion cuts throughmajor discourses both
responding to the rise of the experience economy and theexpanding notion of curating in
parallel.
