| book description |

In Artistic Reconfigurations of Rome Kaspar Thormod examines how visions of Rome manifest themselves in artworks produced by international artists who have stayed at the cityâ€™s foreign academies. Structured as an alternative guide to Rome, the book represents an interdisciplinary approach to creating a dynamic visual history that brings into view facets of the cityâ€™s diverse contemporary character. Thormod demonstrates that when artists successfully reconfigure Rome they provide us with visions that, being anchored in a present, undermine the connotations of permanence and immovability that cling to the â€˜Eternal Cityâ€™ epithet. Looking at the work of these artists, the reader is invited to engage critically with the question: what is Rome today? â€“ or perhaps better: what can Rome be?
