Interdisciplinary Italy 1900-2020: Interart/Intermedia
[Prof Clodagh Brook, Principal Investigator (2012-17), now International Co-I]. Interdisciplinary Italy is an international, AHRC-funded research project exploring inter-artistic and intermedial practices in Italy from 1900 to the present. It explores why and how the arts and artists transgress boundaries between artistic disciplines and how this transgression transforms creative practice. The project has run workshops in Rome, London, and New York and is currently preparing 3 books, several articles, teaching material, and an exhibition at the Estorick Collection in London. To get involved, contact Dr. Brook.
