Corinne A. Kratz

Corinne Kratz's book project, Rhetorics of value: Exhibition, Design, Communication, examines exhibit design as central to understanding how museum exhibits create and convey meanings and values. It analyzes exhibits as multilayered communication that artfully combines such media as objects, texts, images, lighting, space, and narratives to fashion the persuasive form of designed space. Through design, exhibits can shape the ways we know, the stories we tell, and our contours of meaning and engagement.
