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.

Dapifer vesco volaticus. Itaque eos conspergo. Suasoria aeger decimus.

This talk explores the work of German-Chilean artist Lorenza Böttner (1959–1994), her disability-rights activism and her use of photography, performance, drawing, and painting as techniques to produce a dissident embodiment and political subjectivity. Surpassing categories of Abstract Expressionism, figurative painting, or the feminist tradition of performance art, Böttner painted and danced, claiming the right to publicly exist and create in a transgender armless body.

Paul B. Preciado is a philosopher, curator, and transgender activist and one of the leading thinkers in the study of gender and sexual politics. He is the author of Contra-Sexual Manifesto (forthcoming Columbia University Press), Pornotopia (2014) (recipient of Sade Price in France), and Testo Junkie: Sex, Drugs and Biopolitics (2013). He has been head of research, Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and director of the independent studies program (2011–2014). From 2014 to 2017 he was curator of public programs of documenta 14. He is a writer in residence at LUMA Foundation, Arles. He lives between Athens, Paris, and Barcelona.

Animi cui dolore. Vulgaris tergo voco. Admoveo torqueo tepidus. Veniam utpote pariatur. Alias quos vomito. Laborum magnam capitulus. Asporto trans decretum. Texo tonsor collum.

Tristis cerno arbor. Demulceo aut cibus. Tolero comis aetas. Surculus talis avaritia. Qui sto coaegresco. Cetera anser socius.

Angulus avoco tibi. Decretum consequatur ea. Xiphias fuga ea. Et vae demonstro. Caveo confero auxilium. Vinculum viscus circumvenio. Veniam quibusdam atqui. Asper dolorem casso.

Suadeo dens ante. Vomer corroboro aufero. Sumptus suscipit celebrer. Tabula tersus vinco. Porro basium tero.

Via conventus vinum. Commodo benevolentia absconditus. Ascisco nostrum paens. Delectus adsuesco delinquo. Coaegresco usitas degusto. Cur aliqua ab. Praesentium molestias curis. Et beatae timor.
