Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts named, “Chanel: according to the laws of art” (2007) and “Dior: under the sign of art” (2011), dedicated to the largest fashion designers of our time. The original concepts and artistic solutions of the exhibition design of these exhibitions became events not only in the fashion world, but also in the art of the exhibitiaon. These exhibitions presented various exhibition solutions, vivid artistic images, expressive spatial organization, conceptual and scenographic arrangement of copyright collections in the context of high fine art. The most important conceptual component of the exhibitions was to present the art of fashion designers, juxtaposing, giving rise to associations and building analogies and contexts with visual art, against which unique collections were exhibited and in the circle. With this single conceptual view of their work, and the single space of the museum in which the exhibitions were held, the artistic and architectural strategy of the exhibitions was diametrically opposite, revealing the palette and variety of artistically expressive means and modern exhibition design. Both exhibitions were created by modern foreign curators and designers and represent talented and creative exposition projects, the analysis of which can be useful for domestic environmental design as vivid examples of the exposition as a genre of plastic art, which is considered the modern museum and exhibition exposition at its highest and creative forms.

Il teatro è arte visiva is an undated and unpublished text by Toti Scialoja. It has been found in the archive of the artist among other documents related to his activity of teacher at the Academy of Fine Art in Rome. The text could be seen as a proof of Scialoja’s lasting interest in the reflection on the role of the arts in the mise en scène. In particular, he started to propose his own opinion inside of Italian culture debate since the Forties. Some texts on this matter have been published between 1944 and 1946 on “Mercurio”, and in 1949 on “L’Immagine”. Considering those precedents, Il teatro è arte visiva could be considered a summa of the principles that Scialoja already expressed in those previous texts, but actualized according to new experiences, like Grotowski’s Poor Theatre. This mention suggests to propose a dating of the document subsequent the second half of the Sixties and to refer it to his experience as Professor of Scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts. It consents to highlight how he educated his students in light of the most important and innovative experimentation scenic of Avant-gardes, instilling in them the importance of considering theatre like a visual art, formally independent from the single contribution of paint, sculpture, and architecture.
