|  | | SLOOTWATER | Short film by Leo Mokkala
@ De Bouwput, Amsterdam
Opening and Performance 9 JAN from 19:00 till 22:00
Slootwater, an experimental short film by Finnish artist Leo Mokkala, delves into the surreal and unsettling life of The Blue Man, a horror film actor.
Blurring boundaries between formats, Slootwater emerges as part silent film, part audiovisual EP, and part mockumentary hybrid—a retro, spontaneous experiment in pop culture.

|  | | SPECULATIVE GAZE: READING THE ALGORITHMIC IMAGE | A research seminar in four sessions with Femke Herregraven, Zachary Formwalt and Flavia Dzodan
By Rietveld Sandberg Research
@ Sandberg Auditorium, Gerrit Rietveld Academie
From 17:00 till 19:00
In this seminar we will engage with the AI-generated image as a site for layered interpretation, inquiry, and cross-referential research. How do we see an image that isn’t solely of human origin? Each month, we will “read” three AI-generated images, analyzing their ambiguity and generative potential by linking them with theories, artworks, literature, film, sound, and more. Through this process, we ask: What networks of meaning arise from images crafted by algorithms?

|  | | RADICAL ACCESSIBILITY: CRIP PEDAGOGIES, CRIP THEORY, CRIP PRACTICE | Launch on 19 JAN at 14:00
@ The Theory Stairs, Gerrit Rietveld Academie
Studium Generale 2024-25 explores the accessibility of art and cultural practices through a ‘Crip’ perspective. This approach emphasizes interdependency, mutual solidarity, and shared responsibility among our diverse bodies and minds. Once a term used negatively to describe people with disabilities, ‘Crip’ has been reclaimed by artists, activists, and scholars as a positive and empowering term, akin to ‘queer.’ It challenges harmful norms and prejudices and examines how disability intersects with gender, race, class, sexuality, and the environment, encouraging us to consider these connections on both personal and political levels.

| | |  | | LES GARBAGÉ | Eight Cubic Meters exhibition
by Rietveld students Sara Darle Olsson and Max Purdon
@ Sint Nicolaasstraat, Amsterdam
As objects are moved from one 8m3 to another, the perception of their value is in flux. They’re shipped from their production site via a small delivery truck to the display windows of the Sint Nicolaasstraat, to small homes where they are sifted through the seasonal whims of the quick-to-bore consumer, then finally thrown out to meet their end.

|  | | BIG FORTUNE | Group show with a.o. Finn Theuws and Levi van Gelder
@ Woonhuis, De Ateliers, Amsterdam
In the exhibition entitled Big Fortune, the artists think against the hubris of individuality as a given, opting rather to be in community all the while thinking of what constitutes fortune. In an attempt to be in conversation in an intimate space like Woonhuis, the second year participants of De Ateliers bring together works and thoughts-in-progress.

|  | | VIRGINS | Group show with a.o. Koos Buster, Maria Barnas, Jessie Kuhn and Clara Rojas
@ Kunstbar, Den Haag
Virgins is a group exhibition that explores the theme of new beginnings through a witty variation of artistic interpretations. The exhibition toys with expectations and associations surrounding the word ‘virgin.’ It invites viewers to think, maybe even overthink, connections, seek explanations, and uncover the contexts that justify each work’s presence in the show.

|  | | WOMAN OF AMSTERDAM 'AN ODE' | Exhibition with a.o. Charlott Markus and Danielle Alhassid
@ Amsterdam Museum, Amsterdam
The installation Partition #9 (Sphere for Thea) by Charlott Markus arose from her friendship with Thea Bakker, an Amsterdam resident since 1970. The chair is the same as Thea's beloved chair in which she listened to music at home in Amsterdam-West.
The installation Go Forth O Daughters by Danielle Alhassid combines history, literature, and moving image to reveal a new perspective on women’s roles in Jewish cultural life.

|  | | LYING NAKED | Book by Basje Boer
In 'Lying naked', an essay in five parts, Basje Boer examines our assumptions about femininity on the basis of clothing and symbols that we think belong to women. That research, in which it sometimes rubs and collides, leads from fashion history through Cinderella to Taylor Swift and Mae West. It meanders, asks questions, but ultimately also draws conclusions about the time and culture in which we live, and what role gender plays in it.
