Rietveld Review(ed) is part of the side programming of the Rietveld Academie’s Graduation Show.
Rietveld Review(ed) 2025
An interesting addition to the Graduation Show side programming is the fifth edition of Rietveld Review(ed). The academy invites external experts from the world of art and design to visit and reflect on the exhibition. What are striking tendencies and themes this graduation year? The reflection report will offer visitors depth in their exhibition visit.
This year’s art & design committee consisted of Alexis Blake, Koos Breen, Annie Goodner and Taylor LeMelle and the theses committee were Tirza Kater (Chair), Derica Shields and Harriet Foyster.

Video portraits
A series of video portraits of graduation projects selected by the same committee are also created as part of Rietveld Review(ed) and are launched later in the year. The committees have put forward 10 graduates, some of whom are mentioned in the report and some because the committee felt that their work had sparked many of their thought proces and conversations that led to the report. With these portraits, the art academy highlights and celebrates the remarkable art projects by the next generation of artists. Each video portrait was made in close collaboration with the artists to give insight into their way of thinking and working.
