Joseph Svoboda

This sampling of the extraordinary range and inventiveness of this renowned Czech scenographer covers nearly 50 years of theatrical designs in the form of models, slides and photographs. From designs employing constructivist aesthetics, through experiments with new technologies, pure light, aerosols, mirrors and kinetic projection screens. Svoboda's art has inspired generations of scenographers in Europe and the Americas. This exhibition has been organized by the Dalhousie Art Gallery in collaboration with scenographer Peter Perina and the Dalhousie Theatre Department.
