Rietveld Uncut is one of the three annual presentation moments of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie since 2009. Within Rietveld Uncut, the process of creating work, contact with the public outside the academy and the relationship to Studium Generale's subjects that change every year play a substantive role. Departments and individual students develop projects in relation to the theoretical frameworks of Studium Generale. Since 2014 leads this collaboration to a simultaneous conference week and exhibition, where making and thinking come together.
In collaboration with the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Gerrit Rietveld Academie presents Refuge – fleeing, flowing, leaking. This is a large-scale, multi-day event in the museum building and includes a festive Friday night. From 22 to 25 March 2023, it focuses on questions of refuge.
For an upcoming performance at the Stedelijk museum this Rietveld student is seeking 40 performers who would commit to the act of carrying.
After two online editions of Rietveld Uncut, the exhibition is taking place IRL again in Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from March 23-26.

TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
(...) It matters what stories tell stories. It matters what thoughts think thoughts. It matters what worlds make worlds (...)” – Donna Haraway
This year, you are invited to ‘take a walk on the wild side’ and enter a space beyond current systems and structures of rule; to regard ‘fabulation’ – fabricating the real, or speculative fiction – as both an artistic, social and political capacity to produce or uncover visions, stories and histories that are radically discontinuous from official and dominant narratives about our lives and our living together. The effect of this on our consciousness and imaginations may turn out to be very real or liberating.
FRIDAY NIGHT
