- This 80k-word monograph explores how National Socialist exhibitions beyond the fine arts often adopted and transformed modernist practices and principles. The book argues that a key motivation for doing so was an effort to elicit forms of �engaged spectatorship�, or experiences that would make audiences want to take part in wider processes of social and political change. To support this argument, the book draws on extensive archival materials gathered during seven years of research, including installation photographs, films, government correspondence, sketches, and architectural plans, much of which had not been presented in previous scholarship.
