THEME
Every project in this exhibition is in some form related to the concept of TIME. It can appear as a direct invitation to the audience, a memory of the past, or something suspended and still. Time here is elastic, it is stretched, expanded, and suspended. It is intimate and familiar, yet brutal and unsettling.
Time asks for patience, memory, or speculation. It unfolds with us and through us, keeping us in motion: looking backward, anticipating what comes next, or remaining in the present. It grounds us, revealing what we have forgotten, exposing what we resist, and confronting us with what we cannot escape. This year’s selection of Rietveld alumni connects to TIME in their own way, offering layered, fractured, and reimagined perspectives on its many meanings.
We're looking forward to seeing you at Dutch Design Week!
NOTE: Unfortunately the venue is not wheelchair accessible - our apologies.
