Biography
Robin Schuldenfrei is Katja and Nicolai Tangen Senior Lecturer in 20th Century Modernism at The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. She has written widely on modernism as it intersects with theories of the object, architecture and interiors. Her publications include Luxury and Modernism: Architecture and the Object in Germany 1900-1933 (Princeton University Press, 2018) as well as numerous articles, essays and the two edited volumes: Atomic Dwelling: Anxiety, Domesticity, and Postwar Architecture (2012) and, co-edited with Jeffrey Saletnik, Bauhaus Construct: Fashioning Identity, Discourse, and Modernism (2009).
"The book posits iteration as a motor for artistic creativity and imagination. Essays covering various media make us see works of art in constant motion, repeating, and reproducing existing forms and re-envisioning new ones in their wake. An essential book for designers, design educators, and design historians – one that inspires to envision art as part of trans-medial flows and larger historical processes. Inspiring!"
Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, Yale University, USA
"Provides several well written and transmutable models for locating the distinction between authorship in art, authorship in architecture, and authorship in design." Excerpt from https://www.jaeonline.org/articles/review/iteration#/page1/
Peter Christensen, University of Rochester, USA
"Schuldenfrei, whose editorial prowess shines throughout the episodes, correspondingly points to her volume’s intention to further debates and initiate critical engagements. The disciplinary range of contributions and their respective contact zones with media, science and technology thereby proffer the propagation of examinations beyond the design field."
Clemens Finkelstein, Princeton University, USA
