Frida Forsgren – författare

This volume explores the relationship between aesthetics and traditional multimodal communication to show how all semiotic resources, not just those situated within fine arts, have an aesthetic function. Bringing together contributions from an interdisciplinary group of researchers, the book meditates on the role of aesthetics in a broader range of semiotic resources, including urban spaces, blogs, digital scrapbooks, children’s literature, music, and online learning environments. The result is a comprehensive collection of new perspectives on how communication and aesthetics enrich and complement one another when meaning is made with semiotic resources, making this key reading for students and scholars in multimodality, fine arts, education studies, and visual culture.

Nicolai Tangen has been collecting art for over 30 years. Now this entire collection of 5,500 works is to be transferred to Kunstsilo in Kristiansand. The collection focuses on Nordic modernism  (1910 2020). This is the first time this fantastic art collection is being presented to a larger audience. The book contains two books in one cassette. On 850 pages, almost 1,000 works from the collections are presented. Initially with the main emphasis on painting and sculpture, similar books on photography and art on paper will be published later. AKO Art Foundation and Orfeus Publishing by Inger Schjoldager have worked for more than 4 years on this book production, and we are proud to finally be able to present this unique collection.
