Research, Publications, Art & Culture Review by Christiane Wagner
Artworks
While working for Art Style Communication & Design as a graphic artist for both print and electronic media, in computer arts, design, and illustration, I have established myself as a most senior designer, taking on projects that require both high levels of creativity and technical skills and frequently working under very tight deadlines. I was responsible for illustrations, newsletters, reports, magazines, and books design. I’m fluent in all the appropriate graphic design software and have shown initiative in learning new skills and expanding my paintings and drawings outside of traditional print-based media. For instance, artworks using graphite on paper drawing, watercolor painting, pastel on paper, quick sketch drawing with graphite, water-based marker and micron pen, and so on.
Illustration for my article: “Aesthetic Experience: Visual Culture as the Masterpiece of Nonhumanity.” On_Culture: The Open Journal for the Study of Culture 2, Germany, Gießen, 2016.This project was designed by myself based on a monument in Cuneo (1962), adapted from Aldo Rossi’s design at a scale of 1:100. In Cuneo project, Aldo Rossi is exploiting the ‘concept of type’ to create a monument that interrelates ancient to modern examples of memorial monuments, without specific associations or distinct characterising of any particular style in history. Cumeo project reflects the city’s past without replicating specific buildings and as such, Rossi’s project can be seen as a contribution, an influence of how the city of Cuneo is going to become. Cumeo project marks the memory of a historical event, through specific architectural typology, an ideological project which requires the visitors/ viewers to think about the past and engage in the sensory experience of the memorial.Such perception has brought new ideas for other projects about the artificial ambiance and materials limits. This project shows the possibility of constant transformation and seeks to understand the relationships between individuals and their environment.
