Rural Relations - a group exhibition by 2nd year designLAB students

The exhibition ‘Rural Relations’ invites you to explore the complex, interwoven relationships a landscape can hold. By shifting the perspective away from the human and towards the land, the works on show encourage to reflect on the plural relations within the rural ecology and its multi-species communities.

Starting from a host of contexts such as the soil, water, wind, crops, seeds, minerals, and architecture, the designLAB students of the Rietveld Academie present works creating dialogue with the sites materiality, inhabitants - both human & more-than-human, its ecologies and histories.

The exhibition is at REST, a research initiative around a historic plot of land situated in the countryside of Friesland. Through situated and embodied projects on site REST connects narratives from a multiplicity of disciplines.
