Scenography, discussed here as a transdisciplinary practice of the design of performance spaces, can no longer be assigned to a singular genre and a singular author. It is rather its fluid articulation of staging spaces between the disciplines of theatre, exhibition, installation, media and architecture that renders scenography particularly suitable to formulate speculative spaces of potentiality. The original visual essays and theoretical positions in Expanding Scenography: On the Authoring of Space posit and survey recent scenographic practice as an expanded field of presence. They are fuelled by a commitment to performance as providing a unique and stubbornly critical voice from within our society.

"'The model as performance' investigates the history and development of the scale model from the Renaissance to the present. Employing a scenographic perspective and a performative paradigm, it explores what the model can do and how it is used in theatre and architecture. The volume provides a comprehensive historical context and theoretical framework for theatre scholars, scenographers, artists and architects interested in the model's reality-producing capacity and its recent emergence in contemporary art practice and exhibition." "Introducing a typology of the scale model beyond the iterative and the representative model, the authors identify the autonomous model as a provocative construction between past and present, idea and reality, that challenges and redefines the relationship between object, viewer and environment."--Cover.

This book explores the far-reaching influence of two 20th-century design icons: the Bauhaus art school and the furniture company IKEA. The Bauhaus was founded in 1919 and disbanded in 1933, but in its short existence it served as a crucible for much of what came to be known as modernist design. It set out to transform daily life for the better by incorporating mass manufacturing techniques into the design of everything from single objects to buildings, setting in motion the democratisation of design. Just 10 years after the Bauhaus' closure, this principal would become the theoretical and functional foundation for IKEA. 'Design for everyone', IKEA's motto, is both the embodiment of Bauhaus ideals and a business plan that has seen modernism repackaged in the form of a global consumer goods empire. Considered together, the Bauhaus and IKEA could be said to have profoundly transformed how our societies relate to and understand design and its artefacts. But as we grapple with climate change and the wreckage brought about by the consumer-driven, mass manufacturing models promulgated by the Bauhaus, and then perfected by IKEA, how might we reckon with this legacy, and what can we learn from it? Through a carefully curated selection of essays and photography, Bauhaus X IKEA traces the profound but not always benign influence of these global design icons across history, politics, pedagogy, art and society.
