Stéphanie has recently embarked on a AHRC funded doctorate which is the fruit of a collaboration between Artangel and the School of English and Drama, Queen Mary University, London.  Her practice-based research consists of developing a critical approach to the modeling of an online interface for the re-presentation of Artangel projects under the supervision of Dr Jen Harvie, Senior Lecturer at QMUL, and Artangel directors, Michael Morris and James Lingwood.

 

Before starting her PhD, Stéphanie worked as a freelance writer and arts manager. She was responsible for internationally touring and promoting 'Panacea', an artist-led project in collaboration with the John Hansard Gallery, and acted as a press liaison for www.furtherfield.org, a platform for networked art, and for their gallery, HTTP. Stéphanie started her career at the Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse in Germany where she co-ordinated a new media art exhibition for Weimar, European Capital of Culture 1999.

 

Stéphanie graduated in Art History at Université de Rennes, France, in 1999, and received an MA in Arts Criticism from City University, London, in 2005. For her MA thesis titled 'Finding art in Strange Places: Surprise, Interpretation and Pilgrimage', Stéphanie posited that artworks interface with the fabric of our society and in so doing facilitate the interpretation of our local and global environment. She concluded that they acquire a ‘place’ not as much through their physical dimension as through the perpetual critical exchange they entertain with their audiences.

 

Stéphanie is a regular contributor to A-N magazine and writes for other publications such as Art & Architecture Journal. She is particularly interested in writing about art she stumbles across without meaning to.
