Dr. Lauren Shohet at the International Conference on the Book
At the International Conference on the Book in Regensburg, Germany, Dr. Lauren Shohet gave a paper on artwork in southern-German churches that represents one medium (such as books, music, or pens) within another (such as paintings or sculptures). Her paper was entitled "Ink into Stone: Re-Mediation in Architectural Decoration of the Upper-Swabian Baroque."
