In the belief that art students can only learn to think independently when knowledge, imagination and reflection combine to work together in an unorthodox and critical way, Studium Generale Rietveld aims to encourage critical forms of learning, making and thinking. It follows a new research trajectory every year around a specific theme that links up with current events, issues and discussions in the (art) world. Artists and theoreticians from home and abroad offer a broad spectrum of perspectives on the overarching themes with lectures, performances, presentations and screenings.

After a preliminary programme, which also includes film screenings, reading groups, workshops and publications, there is an annual four-day conference festival in collaboration with guest curators who make contact with urgent critical discourses from different perspectives and practices. This takes place at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and is open to the public.

Since 2014 Studium Generale teams up with Rietveld Uncut; departments and individual students develop projects in relation to the theoretical framework of Studium Generale. The presentation and exhibition of these programmes is simultaneous to the conference, bringing ‘the making and the thinking’ together.

Vel vito aufero. Et decumbo inventore. Rerum ultio cogo. Decipio venio cubo. Atque dolorem congregatio. Aequitas cado sit. Subnecto voluptates aptus. Damno cupressus tenus.

Finally Nicholas Bullen will present Breach (2014), a piece for vocal improvisation and electronics that includes passages of broken speech, sine waves (made by the voice), sudden interjections, quiet passages of almost sub-vocal speech, and harsh noise.
