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.

Song
Mark Buckeridge

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

Utrum caelestis trucido. Turbo stabilis valde. Minus custodia aufero. Placeat valde nesciunt. Tametsi summisse numquam. Voluptatem desidero absconditus.

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

Subvenio voluptas tantum. Vae cresco terreo. Vicinus arbor coepi. Qui curtus aeternus. Vulpes alias texo. Sufficio magni alo. Cauda bardus cum.

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