Presentation of a two-volume illustrated encyclopedic dictionary by Apostolos Fokionas Vettas, “Scenes. Notes on the Art and Technique of Scenography”.
The event concerns the presentation of the two-volume illustrated encyclopedic dictionary on scenography, stage architecture and theatrical technology entitled “A. F. Vettas. Scenes. Notes on the Art and Technique of Scenography”, the life’s work of Apostolos Vettas, a highly educational contribution published by MOMus under his supervision and with the support of the Ioannis F. Kostopoulos Foundation. The dictionary is written in a simple way, so that it also functions as a teaching aid for young people who want to get involved in theatre.
The publication was first presented last January on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition “Apostolos Vettas. Paper Scenes” which is presented at MOMus-Museum of Modern Art-Costakis Collection at Moni Lazariston, Thessaloniki and will conclude on May 18, after two extensions due to large attendance.
Speakers: Apostolos Vettas, professor emeritus of scenography at the Department of Theater of the School of Fine Arts of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Kostas Vomvolos, musician, Maria Karadeloglou, theater expert, costume designer, set designer. Angelos Papadimitriou, visual artist, actor. Coordination: Maria Tsantsanoglou, artistic director of MOMus-Museum of Modern Art-Costakis Collection.
