In 2015 kocht het Stedelijk van Saskia Noor van Imhoff (1982) het ruimtelijke werk

+14.11 aan. Voor de eerste presentatie van dit werk in het Stedelijk maakt de kunstenaar een installatie die is toegespitst op de museumcollectie en op de architectuur van de zalen. In haar werk combineert Van Imhoff kunstwerken uit het depot, replica’s en alledaagse voorwerpen. Die plaatst zij zonder enige hiërarchie bij elkaar. Daarbij maakt zij de methoden van conservering, onderzoek en classificering tot onderdeel van haar installatie.

Vanaf 6 februari 2016 is er in De Appel art centre eveneens een solotentoonstelling te zien van Saskia Noor van Imhoff.

De vierde editie van de tentoonstelling Prospects & Concepts opent vandaag tijdens Art Rotterdam.

Prospects & Concepts is samengesteld door Noor Mertens, conservator Moderne en hedendaagse kunst & Stadscollectie bij Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Deelnemende alumni zijn: Sohrab Bayat, Michiel Hilbrink, Anne Huijnen, Susan Kooi, Maurits Koster, Ola Lanko, Jonas Lund, Silvia Martes, Kaweh Modiri, Malou van der Molen, Nicoline Timmer, Ran Zhang.

The film 'Bodkin Ras' by Rietveld alumnus Kaweh Modiri won the International Film Festival Rotterdam FIPRESCI award at IFFR on Friday. The award is for the judges’ favourite film in the Bright Futures strand. The FIPRESCI Award is given to the filmmaker of the best film in Bright Future by the jury of the Fédération Internationale de la Presse Cinématographique (FIPRESCI). The FIPRESCI jury exists of international film journalists, who grant this award during IFFR to a film in the section Bright Future. Only first feature films that have their world premiere during IFFR and are not included in a competition qualify for this award, and the jury were selecting from a total of eleven films.

The FIPRESCI jury consisted of Joost Broeren, Taylor Hess, Dragan Jurak, Toni Junyent, Martin Kudlac, Kevin B. Lee, Archana Nathan and Yael Shuv. They described the film as a “fascinating hybrid of documentary and fiction, filled with unforgettable characters, a strong sense of place and an urgency that turns the experiment into a thrilling and humanistic film”.

Mensen uit landen in omliggende continenten vluchten vanwege oorlog en terreur naar de EU om een veilige thuishaven te vinden. Europa is verdeeld over hoe om te gaan met vluchtelingen en economische immigranten. Het publieke debat wordt gedomineerd door incident gedreven media en populisme en laat weinig ruimte voor reflectie en gedegen argumentatie. Op 16 Februari nodigt Europe by People in Pakhuis de Zwijger hoogleraar migratierecht Thomas Spijkerboer, hoogleraar Sociologie Godfried Engbersen en beeldend kunstenaar en Rietveld alumna Olfa Ben Ali uit om te praten over de bedreigingen en oplossingen, gezien vanuit hun eigen vakgebied en onderzoek.
