New Approaches to Piranesi: A Virtual Roundtable
New Approaches to Piranesi: A Virtual Roundtable
Event date: 16 July 2021
Join us on July 16 for a roundtable of lightning talks on interdisciplinary approaches to the works of Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78). Recent scholarship by Heather Hyde Minor, Carolyn Yerkes, and Susan Dixon, as well as the current bestselling novel Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, have started to open the field of Piranesi Studies to new avenues of research and potentially wider audiences. This roundtable consists of two panels of short presentations of 5-7 minutes followed by ample time for discussion. Papers engage with a wide range of disciplinary fields and methods including globalism, reception, collecting, virtual reality, exhibition curation, book history, archaeology, history of design, and architecture. We hope the themes and format of the roundtable will encourage lively conversation and prompt new critical perspectives that will continue to broaden the interpretation of Piranesi’s works.
