Abstract

This article constitutes an analysis of Frederick Kiesler’s intervention for Peggy Guggenheim’s art gallery, Art of This Century, from the perspective of “expanded scenography”, a theoretical and critical proposal that seeks to examine the possibilities of scenography beyond of the theater. Based on such conceptual premises, we try to demonstrate how the interest in sensory stimulation, the treatment of different scenic elements such as light or atmosphere, as well as the importance of the interaction between the gallery and the users, turned this exhibition space into a complete experience. vital and integral, where art was seen, heard, touched, but above all, felt.
