Where: Belgrade, Serbia / Military Museum and Belgrade Fortress
Convened by:
Thea Brejzek, Prague Quadrennial Curator for Theory, ZHdK
Sodja Lotker, Prague Quadrennial Artistic Director
In the second preparatory symposium before the June 2011 Prague Quadrennial for Perfomance Design and Space (PQ), artists and researchers from the performing arts, visual arts and spatial design disciplines are invited to enter into a transdisciplinary dialogue on the role of the artist as the autor of scenographic space.
The symposium comprises an impressive range of international speakers and aims to engage practitioners and researchers in discussing practice-as-research in relationship to the staging of spaces. Beyond a genrespecific discourse, On Artists / Authors will investigate diverse practices of scenographic research, focusing on individual authorship, collaborative and site-specific projects, curatorial concepts and exhibition practice.

February - September 2010
Expanding Scenography 1-3
Intersection Symposia
Where: Riga - Belgrade - Evora
Expanding Scenography
Invitation and Call for Papers
Throughout the past decade, scenographic practice and performance design have continuously moved beyond the black box of the theatre toward a hybrid terrain located at the intersections of theatre, architecture, exhibition, visual arts, and media. Spaces that are at the same time hybrid, mediated, narrative, and transformative result from a trans-disciplinary understanding of space and a distinct awareness of social agency. These two factors of expansion may be regarded as the central driving forces in contemporary scenographic practice and thought.
With the aim of initiating and hosting an active and trans-disciplinary discourse on the notions of an expanded scenography, the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space issues an invitation and a Call for Papers for Expanding Scenography 1-3 in 2010. The symposia will engage with notions of spectatorship, artists/authors, and curating in relation to the diverse artistic positions in contemporary spatial design.
In preparation for the Intersection Project of the Prague Quadrennial in June, 2011, we invite researchers in practice and theory (artists, curators, programmers, directors, dramaturges, critics, and theorists) to participate in 3 international scenography symposia held in Riga, Belgrade and Évora during 2010. Expanding Scenography 1-3 will be followed up by a publication.
For details please see pdf files below.

Symposium Monitoring Scenography 3:
Space and Desire / Raum und Begehren
Where: Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), Ausstellungsstrasse 60, CH-8005 Zurich
In the 3 day symposium Monitoring Scenography 3: Space and Desire, artistic and academic researchers in the visual arts, architecture, theatre studies and art history discuss the existence and textures of spatial languages, choreographies, mise-en-scenes and spatial representations of desire.The scenographies of desire are both site-specific and global, artistic and commercial, real and virtual. Success stories in popular culture, advertisement and marketing rely heavily on a carefully designed analysis of desire and its translation into product-specific scenographies. In the staged and mediatised lives of the 21st century, the spaces of desire take on many forms. Inscribed onto them is the desire for uniqueness, inimitability and immersion - as both service and response to the spectacle.
Monitoring Scenography 3: Space and Desire is the third in a series of annual symposia curated by the members of the Doctorate Program Scenography, a practice-based research unit between the Zurich University of the Arts and the University of Vienna. Its members are a diverse and international group of emerging and established artists and academics engaged in expanding the discourse on scenography toward the intersection of architecture, media, theatre and exhibition.
Conveners: Brejzek / Greisenegger / Marschall / Wallen
Speakers: Ashkin / Hourani / Crawley / Mann / Redler / Uchida / Doswald / Nicolai / Novak / Beer / Allenspach / Divjak / Donger / Fischer / Guy / Hardt / Weisbeck / Warwick / Trüby / Hannah / Kossak / Rieger-Ladich / Steiner / Hächler / Neudecker / Op de Beeck / Schmidt / Penny / Münch / Mendes / Evans / Sagiv / Lotker / Kaelin / Sandys / Powell / Hangl / Oehner / Foroutan / Mathis / Samini / Bürkle / Regn / Könz / Khan / Weishäupl

Monitoring Scenography 2: Space and Truth / Raum und Wahrheit
Where: Panorama (5th floor), Ausstellungsstrasse 60, Zurich
A series on Scenography by the Zurich University of the ArtsBook Launch and drinks with the editors and authors of the publication
In 1995, Baudrillard states that an «event is not entirely true or false, but rather oscillates between one, two or three octaves of truth.» When juxtaposing Baudrillards “fractal truth” with an assumed notion of truth inherent in all art, we must ask whether and how artists and designers address this virulent contradiction Illusion, simulation, immersion and appropriation are among the central design strategies in contemporary (mediated) spatial practice in scenographies of the theatre, architecture and art – with complex relationships to truth / reality, representation and mimesis:
In the publication representatives from (media) art, philosophy, curatorial practice and exhibition design, theatre studies, human geography, music and performance present and discuss these complex relationships in regards to their own research and artistic practice.

Welche Relevanz haben Raum und Räumlichkeit in den verschiedenen Disziplinen und Wissensgebieten? Auf diese gegenwärtig stark diskutierte Frage, deren Beantwortung nicht selten in interdisziplinäre Grundsatzdebatten mündet, versuchen die hier versammelten Beiträge eine konstruktive Antwort zu geben. In detaillierten Einzeldarstellungen, geordnet nach Forschungsfeldern, die von der Ästhetik und der Architektur über die Musikwissenschaft und die Mathematik bis hin zur Physik und Theologie reichen, wird der gegenwärtige Stand der Überlegungen und Methoden jeweils kritisch rekapituliert und mittels konkreter Fallanalysen veranschaulicht. Entstanden ist ein Kompendium, das umfassend über die gegenwärtige Forschungslage der Raumtheorie in ihren vielfältigen Anwendungsgebieten informiert.
