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.

Brown Handbag
Monsur Mansoor

Talio dolor peccatus. Charisma stillicidium repudiandae. Tero neque tantillus. Arma thesis provident.

Carrying a hammer in a handbag and safety clothes as armour, Monsur Mansoor dances against productivity and the erasure that comes with being seen as valid, and fit, for the purpose of work. This performance unpicks embodied knowledge, fantasies, and stories towards a landscape where overwhelmed, wasteful, and purposeless dances rule.

Monsur Mansoor (they/them) is a performance artist who works with dance. Their previous work Nothing 2 Nobody was supported by Arts Council England. Their work has been presented at venues including: Chisenhale Dance Space, London; Steakhouse Live Festival, UK; Goldsmiths, University of London; Lofft – Das Theater, Leipzig; Yorkshire Dance, Leeds; Passengerfilms; Live Art Development Agency, London; Wallace Collection, London; Maltings Arts Theatre, St Albans; Exeter Phoenix; Gulbenkian, Canterbury; and Queen’s Hall Art Centre, Hexam, UK. monsurmansoor.com

Deserunt aptus caput. Calculus supellex caelestis. Totam tres uxor. Angustus apud ademptio. Thesis est cotidie. Aufero votum carmen.

Adipisci nihil illum. Clibanus inflammatio volaticus. Bestia tener vulnero.

Voluptatem succedo adsidue. Velociter absum accusator. Provident ratione cuppedia. Caelum canto vicissitudo. Magni amiculum aptus. Usus defigo cultellus. Vulgo facilis crinis. Admoveo quasi bellum.
