Questioning Exhibit Display

This book presents the first scientific outcomes of a project aimed at scrutinizing the forms and meanings of exhibition systems from the perspective of display. Due to its inherently cross-disciplinary nature, the display device is a negotiation ground resistant to a univocal approach, transforming it into a strategic agent of crisis for historical, theoretical, and project disciplines.The objective of this book is to reassess the concept of 'expographie' as a suitable cross-disciplinarity, by employing the investigative approach of display to intersect various perspectives. Alongside historical and theoretical disciplines, the fields of design, architecture, and exhibit design, are involved.Starting from case studies and methodological inquiries, the essays in this volume revolve around four thematic constellations -?Experience, Memory, Engagement, Display in action?- where pivotal and, in our view, open points of the display debate converge.With the contributions of?:Roberta Albiero, Fabrizia Bandi, Giampiero Bosoni, Fiorella Bulegato, Francesca Castellani, Bernadette Dufrene, Mario Farina, Antonella Gallo, Jerome Glicenstein, Carlo Grassi, Anna Mazzanti, Angela Mengoni, Stefano Mudu, Roberto Pinto, Paul Rasse, Clarissa Ricci, Camilla Salvaneschi, Marco Scotti, Alessandra Vaccari, Angela Vettese, Francesca Zanella, Stefania Zuliani.
