The Thesis is the Beginning

For Rietveld & Sandberg students alike, the writing and publication of the thesis is a major undertaking of the last year of study (for some, already the summer before). Where does one begin? How does one end? What books did you read and where did you find them? And how does this all relate to the graduation work?

Hannah Kindler & Milena Naef: Myths of Mothers and Other Monsters

The exhibition “Myths of Mothers and Other Monsters” showcases explorations around motherhood* by artists Hannah Kindler and Milena Naef. Although care work and motherhood* are the foundation of every society, they are surrounded by persistent stereotypes, norms, and taboos. Particularly for artists, motherhood* is still considered a breach of taboo, as the myth of the male artist-genius, who creates in the quiet absence of children, runs deep. Between the image of the self-sacrificing “Mother Mary” and the cold-hearted "working mom," a tension arises that calls for a reexamination and deconstruction of such divisive and oppressive societal narratives.

Sandra Golubjevaite: dis/functional [-c] objects

‘dis/functional [-c] objects’ explores the relationship between language, code, handcraft and interfacing. The process comes to life through the making of a series of hybrid installations. The project departs from a self-posed question: In a time when web development systems are rapidly evolving and A.I.s can generate software codes in seconds, is manual process of writing code, like HTML, from scratch becoming a craft? The aim is to therefore experiment with the use of handmade elements highlighting a slow, personal code-crafting method as counterbalance to the speed of commodified and centralized state of the current digital landscape.

TOWARDS NEW SCHOOLS - epistemic shifts in art and design education

'Towards New Schools' is an essay series published by the Editorial Board around recent epistemic shifts in art and design education in Northwestern Europe.

The editorial board was created in 2019 as a 5 year project part of the Quality Agreements. Its objective is to stimulate extracurricular, experimental and student driven education at the Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Instituut. Set out to facilitate 13 educational platforms during that period through an annual open call, it has now entered what is possibly its last cycle.

TO NOSE. FROM NOSE.

Dear Olya,

I’m writing you a letter from my nose, in the sense that I depart and arrive from the nose and to the nose as I nose. My point is that I have traveled far, but I know that the place of my face that is the “I” where my story unfolds and folds in a void of not-knowing is a song of home-coming too as the paradox of leaving and the impossibility to leave within the breathing time walking upon the soils of the earth bordered by law and tongues drawn and woven into streams of images and semantics. We have known each other for a few months now and one of the things that connect us is the impossibility of speech and the perpetual trying, trying, and trying.

Quality Agreements, half-time platform reflections

The Quality Agreements is a funding plan which allows student-driven research platforms to run for 5 years. In 2022, now that half of that time has passed, we are sharing 2 anonymous reports with reflections from the platforms that have existed so far. Here, organizers and participants describe the challenges and rewards of running a platform, what they have learned, and what they would like future initiatives to know.

To all of those who responded to our third Open Call we extend a huge thank you. It was a great pleasure to spend time thinking through and discussing your proposals, and we are grateful for the time and attention you took in applying. It is always rewarding to read about what broad and compelling work is being done around the academy, and it gives us a valuable insight in to what topics and urgencies students are currently working and thinking with.

In this round the decision making process was a challenging one, and we had long discussions in order to come to a final selection. We appreciate the commitment and consideration given to the proposed topics and questions, and are happy that they provoked discussion amongst the board members. We always encourage those who were unsuccessful to join our feedback sessions, and, if suitable, to apply again next round, which will be in the Spring of 2023.

Tools of Relations

the last few years have seen art academies across the netherlands lurch from one crisis to another, suspended in a constant state of crisis-management. the responses have varied across, and within, academies, but a closer look reveals a number of root causes that contribute to the issues rife within our art academies. these issues are difficult to address on a micro, per-academy level, through short-lived instagram accounts, or in moments of rupture and crisis. they need to be addressed through sustained, ongoing efforts - in alliance, together. this is already happening in a myriad of ways, and our project - ‘tools of relation’ - seeks to create a commons of these efforts. to create a living archive of these conversations, actions, interventions, conflicts, resolutions, and alliances.

Context matters: A conversation with Elisa van Joolen and Anouk Beckers

We are so invested, many of us, in the idea of ownership. I came up with this design, so it is mine; I paid for this bag, so I own it. Upon this foundation, capitalism is built: we buy and we sell, we own and disown, and goods circulate from one owner to the next. But what does it mean, really, to own something? Can something ever really be ours? Might there be other ways, besides individual ownership, to relate to objects? And if so, what would that mean for our systems of production and consumption?

Voice, sound, technology and binaries: an audio essay featuring Sasha Geffen

We, a group of five, came together because of a mutual interest in sound. We are interested in how we listen and how sound is being used in its own materiality to foster experimental and border-crossing ways of making and thinking. At the end of 2020, we started a small online reading group where each one of us proposed a book they wanted to read. One of them was Sasha Geffen’s book Glitter up the Dark, which explores the intersections of gender, pop culture, the body, and technology. We reached out to Sasha and asked if they would be interested in collaborating with us. The following audio is composed by a mix of excerpts from their book, Sasha’s own voice, songs, samples, and voices from our friends.

Embodied Learning Lexicon: B is for Breath

In a culture that persistently lures towards a distrust of what cannot be seen, our physical reality is becoming increasingly invisible. This text reflects on one of the most basic, yet important, factors of our physicality: breath. I will examine the phenomenological and ecological implications of a culture that too often takes breath for granted, and ask: What can a pandemic which targets the lungs teach about a cultural relationship with grief?

All around me's twisting, twisting

All around me's twisting, twisting draws from past research undertaken by Rosie Haward and Naomi Credé around embodiments of dizziness and giddiness, focusing on the affects, histories and political potential these sensations give rise to. Dizziness or giddiness can alter our spatial, temporal and bodily relation to the world, and result in feelings of disorientation.

The editorial board feels proud and humble and will focus on facilitating these 3 new initiatives, as well as looking for ways to encourage and possibly support the other proposals in another manner.

(closed) Open Call: Intercurricular Programmes

Future Practices is the title of the multi-year framework from which the editorial board works in the coming years. The framework is in line with discussions previously held by the editorial board: where is the potential of the intercurricular programs in relation to future art and design education? What does studio practice and material research look like in the future and what role do the workshops play in this? How are students prepared for a field that is constantly evolving? How do they want to manifest themselves after their studies? Future practices concerns students and teachers from all departments as well as workshop specialists.
