Rietveld Review(ed) is part of the Graduation Show’s side programme.
2023
In 2023, the academy organised a third edition of Rietveld Review(ed) as part of the Graduation Show’s side programming. An independent, external committee was asked to reflect on the Graduation Show as a whole, and to identify current tendencies and themes within the exhibition. The reflections and observations were processed and turned into a reflection report which is made available here online.
On Saturday 8 July 2023 at 15.00 hrs online radio station Jajajaneeneenee hosted a public radio show in the Auditorium (Fedlev building) dedicated to Rietveld Review(ed). Partly connecting to observations in the reflection report but also to other related topics.
