The Gerrit Rietveld Academie is invited by KunstRAI to curate a part of their exhibition floor with Rietveld alumni (graduates of 2023, 2024 & 2025). 'KunstRAI x Rietveld Alumni - paralelepípedo: about paradoxical dreams, bodies and imaginaries' will take place from 22 April until 26 April 2026 - more info about this year's edition here.
KunstRAI is an art fair where around 100 galleries will exhibit and sell works from artists across the Netherlands and abroad. A selection of contemporary painting, photography, (vintage) design, applied arts, post-war art, and specialist art books will be shown over the course of five days.
The fair is also an opportunity for alumni to sell and showcase their work. Our exhibition's intention is to cultivate a dialogue with the fair visitors and our multidisciplinary, pluricultural and experimental approach to art education and culture.
In this edition, we have space for around 20 Rietveld alumni – it will be curated by Jimena Casas and Mariken Overdijk. The fair takes place in the monumental Europa Hall of RAI Amsterdam, built in 1961.
