Ingrid Rügemer is an independent designer, curator, editor and artist. Her work focuses on investigating the intricate interdependence of human-object relationships and the material agency of art, craft and design, particularly in the context of transformative change. Her main interest lies in exploring the emotional aspects of sensory perception and the effects of the physical environment on our thinking – the interconnectedness of matter and mind.
She is part of the editorial team at the bilingual arts and crafts magazine Art Aurea, where she holds responsibility for the magazine’s section and global project Curators’ Choice. Within this role, she moderates the selection of curators, galleries, and museums worldwide, edits texts, and designs articles. More information >
