PLACE – SPACE – FAKE?

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 our 3 day symposium, 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.

„Monitoring Scenography 2: Space and Truth“ is the second event in a
series of yearly transdisciplinary symposia with the focus on contemporary tendencies and
developments in contemporary scenography.
