Rietveld Review(ed) is part of the Graduation Show’s side programme.
2022
In 2022, the academy is organising a second 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 July 9 2022 at 15:00 hrs online radio station Ja ja ja nee nee nee hosted a public talk show in the Auditorium (Fedlev building) dedicated to Rietveld Review(ed). Partly connecting to observations in the reflection report but also other related topics. Hosted by Arif Kornweitz and Andrea González.
