Sculpture in Context - Perspectives of a Virtual Recontextualization

Exhibition Opening of Ancient Cast Collection at Freie Universität Berlin on May 11, 2017. ' 112/2017 from May 10, 2017 An exhibition of sculptures in an architectural context will open on May 11, 2017, in the Cast Collection of Ancient Sculptures. Using casts of ancient sculptures and reconstructions of individual spatial constructions in images, five examples show how sculptures were integrated in their respective architectural context in antiquity. As part of the exhibition, there is a short film illustrating the possibilities of a 3D visualization of the ancient city of Pergamon, in which individual sculptures were scanned. The exhibition will be on display from May 12 through July 2, 2017, during the regular opening hours of the cast collection. Both the exhibition and the exhibition opening are public, and admission is free. "Greek and Roman sculptures were components of religious, political, and other social practices," says Lorenz Winkler-Hora'ek from the Institute of Classical Archaeology at Freie Universität Berlin, who organized the exhibition.
