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.

HIGHER: rave, flow and superposition of realities.
Michele Rizzo

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

HIGHER is a dance project inspired by and based on the experience of clubbing and club dancing. Approached from the perspective of choreographer and performance maker Michele Rizzo, this reflection on clubbing sees dancing in clubs as an experience that synthetizes two very diverse aspects of living, with it being in the first place an intimate and at the same time a collective one.

Michele Rizzo graduated in 2011 at the SNDO (School for new Dance Development, Amsterdam), where he is now a guest teacher in choreography and movement research. In 2015 he has greaduated at Sandberg Institute of Amsterdam, Dirty Art Department. His artistic practice touches various disciplines, including performance, dance and visual art. His work Higher has been widely shown through out Europe. In the past years he has been working with various artists, such us Vincent Riebeek, Gertjan Franciscus, Igor Dobricic, Juan Pablo Cámara, Lorenzo Senni, and collaborated with institutions like If I Can’t Dance I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, ICK Amsterdam and Q21 Vienna. His upcoming work Spacewalk will be presented in the Amsterdam festival Something Raw, in March 2017.

Centum allatus vilis. Color aeneus curto. Supellex audeo chirographum.

Atque caute utpote. Victoria dolore autem. Bardus comes denique. Consectetur sursum sollers. Unde vel studio. Defero spero itaque. Nobis carpo terror. Curriculum depono stultus.

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