RietveldTV 2023-2024: Third skin!
RietveldTV is the Gerrit Rietveld Academie's monthly TV programme on AT5. In the past, each month an alum was invited to use the 12-minute audiovisual programme as a framework for developing a new work. But 2023-2024 we did things a little differently!
This year we had a curatorial team of four students, coordinated by an alum, who will invite alums to work with a theme.
The coordinator of RietveldTV 2023/2024 was Rabea Ridlhammer (graduate 2015 in graphic design) and the curatorial team consisted of Feliz Aaliyah Sanchez Buitrago (Fashion), Mayya Kuznetsova (Fine Arts), Jiyeon Izzy Lee (VAV - moving image) and Karolina Hyun Wilting (VAV - moving image).
This season's theme was the third skin. Think: shifting identities, expanding beyond the material body and cracking one's own shell, blurring the boundaries between the inside and the outside. Or it might conjure up ideas of costume, clothing or camouflage. Our invited alums could work with this guiding theme in any way they wish and are welcome to associate.
Good to know: The invited alums also had access to Beeld & Geluid's extensive collection of Dutch public media artefacts, footage and files. With the help of a researcher, they could find footage to use in their episode or simply conduct relevant research. In return, all episodes of the current RietveldTV season were archived and became part of the Beeld & Geluid collection.
