Artforum 2011 / Annual Report

Artforum 2011 / Annual Report

'My work consists in an Annual Report 2011 for the magazine Artforum International. I’ve analysed the gallery advertisements of the 10 issues of this year and then created statistics showing the content/advertisements ratio and also the distribution of the number of ads per gallery and artist. Based on the results of these statistics, I then created a new generative graphic system which, with its simple geometric forms and its mathematical placements, recalls some aspects of Concrete Art.  During this project I’ve learned a lot about generative graphic systems, their advantages and difficulties. On the other hand this work has revealed interesting aspects concerning the development and the present situation of the international art market and its economic interdependences.' Teo Schifferli

Contextual Design – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

  Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.

Visual Identity – BA2 S2 2026

with Adeline Mollard

As part of the visual identity course with Adeline Mollard, the students developed a visual identity based on a randomly drawn business card. By appropriating a graphic element and its title, each project offers a singular interpretation of it. Each proposal also involves the selection of a tool linked to the associated event (tattoo machine, sander, lithography equipment, etc.), used as a conceptual and graphic extension of the project. The identity is deployed across a range of formats, from business card to F4 size, including posters, flyers, business cards, as well as an animated poster.

As part of this editorial design course, students developed a research-based project focused on the selection and design of texts around a shared theme. Based on a curated set of sources, each project presents two editions with identical content, produced in both a large and a small format.
