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.

The Conveyor
Elizabeth Orr

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

As our identities operate simultaneously as audience, users, and labourers of the web, Elizabeth Orr presents the lecture/performance The Conveyor: adopting the metaphor of the infinite loop of a conveyor belt, The Conveyor is a meditation on the emotional resonance and perceptual planes of user interface experience (UX). Her presentation includes video, text and scenes from her recent project MT RUSH and her work-in-progress The Conveyor, suggesting a relationship between contemporary art, interface design and gender through kinetic metaphors of image consumption, making and production.

Elizabeth Orr is a filmmaker and artist. She has recently completed the near-future science-fiction film MT RUSH and is working towards her second solo show in September 2017 at Bodega in New York. Her work has been shown internationally at venues including: Artists Space Books & Talks, New York; If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, Amsterdam; Anthology Film Archive, New York; Recess, New York; and ICA Philadelphia. She has also been commissioned by MOCAtv and the Carpenter Center at Harvard University. She holds an MFA with Honors from Bard College Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts and currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
