Since 2011 we have witnessed a recurrent global media spectacle where massive protest gatherings in public space seem to emerge from out of nowhere, accompanied by an avalanche of self-produced media mostly distributed over the Internet. From Puerta del Sol in Madrid to the streets of Istanbul, Ferguson, Haren and Paris (Je (ne) Suis Charlie), this recurrent spectacle appears across vastly different contexts and around a wide variety of issues. The pattern we see in these gatherings remains remarkably constant: Affectively highly charged mobilisations via the Internet spill over into public space, but because this public space is awash with mobile media and wireless networks, the “action in the street” immediately feeds back into the media network. How do we understand and engage with these massive ephemeral events and the techno-social dynamics producing them?

The Knight’s Move is a series of lectures by eminent international speakers who stand out by their unusual, enlightening and inspirational visions concerning the city, urbanity, the public domain, and community. Just as the knight moves in an atypical and unusual way across the chessboard, The Knight’s Move wants to cut across all disciplines and thus stimulate rethinking the city.The Knight’s Move is an initiative by Stroom Den Haag in cooperation with Lectoraat Art & Public Space (LAPS) of the Rietveld Academie.

This year the first lecture of the Knight’s Move lecture series is by Ingo Niermann.

how to do art with networks Thursday, 26 November 13:00-17.30 Gerrit Rietveld Academie

Paula Albuquerque and Daniela de Paulis

Onening Saturday 17th of January, 17.00 - 19.00
Introduction by Sher Doruff, senior researcher, Making Things Public, Gerrit Rietveld Academie

Precarious Aesthetics - from Webcams to the Moon is a two-artist show with PhD candidates Daniela de Paulis and Paula Albuquerque at BRADWOLFF PROJECTS. These two international artists present their art practice, in which both research and media play a central role. The projects are connected through De Paulis’ and Albuquerque’s use of image decay.

Daniela de Paulis researches ‘Visual Moonbounce’, images reflected by the moon. Paula Albuquerque researches the cinematographic properties of surveillance cameras. Both create corrupted images of the ‘here and now’ by incorporating the footprints of unpredictable mechanical and astronomic data-producing phenomena.

Albuquerque and De Paulis expose our contribution to the production of a continuous super-reality. This triggers further thought about the position of the spectator who play a central role in both artists’ form of content. By organizing salons this interaction is intensified and its meaning unfolded.

In collaboration with BRADWOLFF PROJECTS both artists host the following salons:
Sunday 1st of February, 16.00 - 18.00 - Daniela de Paulis, in conversation with Jeroen Boomgaard
Sunday 8th of February, 16.00 - 18.00 - Paula Albuquerque, with the presence of prof dr Patricia Piste

“How come a window glass from an architect building is more interesting than the exact same window glass bought from a shop?” Interesting question, especially in the light of Rem Koolhaas’ Elements of Architecture exhibition at this year's Venice Biennial. In this case, however, the question is not posed by architects, but by the four artists who make up the Danish collective A Kassen. Their practice mainly focuses on the everyday reality of public space, where they create subtle and often humerous interventions. For an answer to the above question and for a fun-filled and inspiring evening, please join us for their Knight's Move-lecture.

Read more about A Kassen in an interview on Pop-Up City, together with Open!, media partner of The Knight’s Move.

The Knight’s Move is organized by Stroom Den Haag, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam en Lectoraat Art Public Space (LAPS), Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Special thanks to: Creative Industries Fund NL and Haagse Bluf Fonds.

Did you know that the library and archive of SKOR (Foundation for Art and Public Domain) is open every Tuesday @ the old TNT-building just across the street of the Rietveld Academie? There is information on about 1000 art projects in the public space and 2000 books on art and public space.
the Rietveld Academie library

With: James Beckett, Francis Burger, informal strategies, Cindy Moorman, Antonis Pittas and others

Curator: Clare Butcher

15 September t/m 17 November 2013

Beginning: Saturday, 14 September, 5 – 7 p.m.

Location: SMBA

Scenographies is a dynamic exhibition programme based around the archive of SKOR | Foundation for Art in Public Space. Over a period of eight weeks various artists and artists' collectives will approach the legacy of SKOR in a flexible exhibition setting designed by Antonis Pittas. The result will be a fragmented ‘scenography’ in SMBA – making apparent the complicated material and ideological context of this unique archive. In its own way each of the successive ‘acts’ of the exhibition and events programme will reflect parts of SKOR as an institution that realized more than a thousand projects in public space in the Netherlands over the past three decades. Scenographies is an initiative of the Lectoraat Art & Public Space (LAPS) at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, which has taken over the SKOR archive. The project is composed by guest curator Clare Butcher.

With installations, performances, a film programme curated by High&Low Bureau, artist's talks with curator Alexandra Landré, a panel discussion, and a seminar in collaboration with Arte Útil Museum Scenographies offers a lively programme that conserves, combines and complicates the tradition of public art commissions in the Netherlands. The SKOR archive is not employed in an effort to present a well-organized survey of the public life of art, but as a source for the presentation of various practices that take an active part in public life. The participating artists and other guests play with the disappearance of monolithic modernism, and dramatize the theatricality of our contemporary media landscape. In doing so they create a mise-en-scène of reflections and commentaries on a generation-long history of art in public space.

Together with the flexible background designed by the artist Antonis Pittas, within which the exhibition programme takes place, the temporary presentations of Scenographies underscore the transitory nature and disappearance of SKOR. At the same time this theatre of change brings new perspectives of art’s role in the public domain. With this in mind, all the participants have sought dynamic ways of employing the public archive so that this cultural heritage might contribute to the future of art in public space in the Netherlands. This is also one of the reasons why the archive is being made accessible to the public by the LAPS Centre of Expertise at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. The aim is ultimately to keep all of the projects of SKOR and its extensive network of commissioners, civil servants, artists, publics, curators and others parties involved, available for research and inspiration.

For details of the programme of events consult the SMBA and LAPS websites, as well as for changes or updates.

Clare Butcher (1985, Harare, Zimbabwe) is a curator and writer who cooks. She is currently teaching in Fine Art at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Recently she completed her MFA at the Centre for Curating the Archive, University of Cape Town, South Africa; initiated the Annex Residency Programme in collaboration with the South African National Gallery; and co-organized the Autonomy Project. Clare completed the de Appel Curatorial Programme in Amsterdam in 2009, before and after which she has curated a number of exhibitions and programmes.

Scenographies is accompanied by SMBA Newsletter nr. 133, with an introduction by Clare Butcher and contributions of Jeroen Boomgaard and Tom van Gestel, amongst others. The SMBA Newsletter is bilingual (EN/NL) and available for free in SMBA and as pdf on www.smba.nl.

The Event Symposium is fully booked on 27 and 28 March.

On Wednesday 28th November there will be the seventh edition of LOKO (national discussion about art made by order) at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. This year LOKO will be about the position of the advisor of art in public space.

In contrast to previous editions where art was central LOKO will now be about the advisor. In the turbulent power field between art and society this position constantly changes. What should happen to the expertise of the intermediary in the long run? Which opportunities and obstacles are there for the advisor in the public space? What status does an advice have? Where do the possibilities lie to generate projects? What different (or new) roles do advisors/intermediary have between the artists and the principals?
We are going to reestablish the position of the intermediary and we would like the (expert) public to contribute by thinking and discussing with us.

Is nature a monument, an excuse, an oasis or an amusement park? Past spring students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam asked themselves this question while living and working in the Amsterdamse Bos.

The ideas about nature and the Amsterdamse Bos that emerged during their stay in the forest are presented in the exhibition ‘Grey Roots’ this fall. With the visitor centre as the main base of the exhibition, temporary art projects can be found throughout the forest, showing a variety of ways in which nature in the Amsterdamse Bos can be perceived.
The Grey Roots project research initiated to research what kind of art and culture projects could be developed in the Amsterdamse Bos. The Amsterdamse Bos gladly works together with the Gerrit Rietveld Academie with the conviction that the art projects and ideas that originate from this cooperation can be of great value for the future and development of the Amsterdamse Bos.

Massaging the Table

Art, Research, and other forms of Knowledge

We are proud to present Massaging the Table, an exhibition and a publication by a select group of students from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the University of Amsterdam. This exhibition will be open for 3 days only, showing the results of a one-year-long intensive search on the borders between art and research.

The exhibition is the end result of the ART and RESEARCH Honours Programme 2010-2011. This project enables students from both scientific and artistic fields of study to join forces and explore the notion of artistic research. Eighteen students have collaborated, inspired each other, and gotten lost in the great unknown, creating paths for new knowledge production. We have submerged ourselves in themes such as ‘crossing borders,’ ‘personal acts of war,’ and the ‘passage of time.’

This Honours Programme arose from the ambition to offer motivated and talented students additional inspirational study programmes. The programme’s main conviction is that scientific involvement with art and culture and the practical execution of it are part of the same whole, enrich, and even overlap with one another. Students are primarily taught to discover and develop new, unorthodox ways of collaborating and new ways of conducting artistic and scientific research.

22 and 23 April 2010 Trouw Amsterdam

In dit tweedaags symposium (22 en 23 april 2010) wordt interactieve kunst in de publieke ruimte onder de loep genomen aan de hand van drie kernbegrippen: object, interface en affect.

The professorship Art and Public Space of the Rietveld Academie presents:

22 and 23 April 2010 Trouw Amsterdam

The two-day symposium A wedge between private and public looks at interactive art in public space from the perspective of three core concepts: object, interface and affect. On day one, theoreticians discuss and expand on these principles, while the second day focuses on three case studies. The symposium creates a clear connection between the theory of interactive art – often considered from the discourse of new media – and the practical aspects involved in commissions in the public space. The symposium is a follow-up to Research into the functioning of interactive art in semi-public space organised by the Research Group Art and Public Space of the Rietveld Academy commissioned by SKOR.

JAKOB KOLDING - STAKES IS HIGH 28 March - 16 May Opening: Saturday 27 March 5 – 7p.m. at the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam. The exhibition will be opened by Ann Goldstein, director of the Stedelijk Museum The exhibition ‘Stakes is High’ by Jakob Kolding is in part the result of a residency by the Danish artist in Amsterdam's Zuidas quarter, the new financial center of the Netherlands. The idealistic background and social implications of post-World War II urban planning and development in Europe have formed an important background for Kolding's work, who himself grew up in a new residential development near Copenhagen. Jakob Kolding (b. 1971, Albertslund, Denmark) studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Among his solo exhibitions have been appearances at the Kunstverein in Hamburg, Team Gallery, Cubitt, Galleri Nicolai Wallner, Galerie Martin Janda and Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art. For the Frankfurter Kunstverein he realised a semi-permanent installation. The exhibition ‘Jakob Kolding – Stakes is High’ was made possible in part through the collaboration between the SMBA, the Research Group of Art & Public Space of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Virtual Museum Zuidas, and the Danish Arts Agency.
