Lectoraat Art & Public Space
Lectoraat Art & Public Space (LAPS) stimulates research into and theoretical reflection on the role of art and design in the public domain. The research group is the result of a partnership between the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, the Sandberg Instituut, the Universiteit van Amsterdam, Foundation for Art in Public Domain (SKOR) and the Virtueel Museum Zuidas (or VMZ).
LAPS stimulates reflection on art and public space in the broadest sense by conducting research, organising lectures, expert meetings and conferences, and by commissioning research from visual artists and designers. Initially, these activities concentrated on the Amsterdam Zuidas area, supported by the VMZ and SKOR; in the meantime, the research has extended to other parts of the city, other parts of the country, and has broadened to include issues relating to the public domain and the role of art and design in general. Within this context, LAPS increasingly functions as a knowledge centre that undertakes critical research into the developments of art in public space, in partnership with and commissioned by other parties.
Within the GRA and SI, LAPS builds a ‘knowledge network’ that coordinates and discusses research into art and public space conducted by lecturers affiliated to the academy and external experts. LAPS sets up education projects to engage groups of students in exploring theoretical concepts and reflections relating to the research being undertaken. LAPS also focuses on expanding and consolidating the teaching of critical theory at the academy in general.

LOKO 12
Read more
On Wednesday 28th November there will be the seventh edition of LOKO (national discussion about art made by order) at the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam.
This year LOKO will be about the position of the advisor of art in public space.
In contrast to previous editions where art was central LOKO will now be about the advisor. In the turbulent power field between art and society this position constantly changes. What should happen to the expertise of the intermediary in the long run? Which opportunities and obstacles are there for the advisor in the public space? What status does an advice have? Where do the possibilities lie to generate projects? What different (or new) roles do advisors/intermediary have between the artists and the principals?
We are going to reestablish the position of the intermediary and we would like the (expert) public to contribute by thinking and discussing with us.
Date: Wednesday November 28 2012 Entrance: EUR 12,59 (lunch costs) payed cash at the entrance
Registration: info@laps-rietveld.nl with the subject "LOKO12"
Location: Academy of Architecture Waterlooplein 211-213 1011 PG Amsterdam T: 020-531 8218
Note: This symposium will be in Dutch.
LOKO12 is organised by SKOR | Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte in cooperation with LAPS, Gerrit Rietveld Academie.

Grey Roots in the Amsterdamse Bos
Read more
Is nature a monument, an excuse, an oasis or an amusement park? Past spring students of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam asked themselves this question while living and working in the Amsterdamse Bos.
The ideas about nature and the Amsterdamse Bos that emerged during their stay in the forest are presented in the exhibition ‘Grey Roots’ this fall. With the visitor centre as the main base of the exhibition, temporary art projects can be found throughout the forest, showing a variety of ways in which nature in the Amsterdamse Bos can be perceived.
The Grey Roots project research initiated to research what kind of art and culture projects could be developed in the Amsterdamse Bos. The Amsterdamse Bos gladly works together with the Gerrit Rietveld Academie with the conviction that the art projects and ideas that originate from this cooperation can be of great value for the future and development of the Amsterdamse Bos.

Honours Programme “Art and Research”

Massaging the Table
Art, Research, and other forms of Knowledge
We are proud to present Massaging the Table, an exhibition and a publication by a select group of students from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the University of Amsterdam. This exhibition will be open for 3 days only, showing the results of a one-year-long intensive search on the borders between art and research.
The exhibition is the end result of the ART and RESEARCH Honours Programme 2010-2011. This project enables students from both scientific and artistic fields of study to join forces and explore the notion of artistic research. Eighteen students have collaborated, inspired each other, and gotten lost in the great unknown, creating paths for new knowledge production. We have submerged ourselves in themes such as ‘crossing borders,’ ‘personal acts of war,’ and the ‘passage of time.’
This Honours Programme arose from the ambition to offer motivated and talented students additional inspirational study programmes. The programme’s main conviction is that scientific involvement with art and culture and the practical execution of it are part of the same whole, enrich, and even overlap with one another. Students are primarily taught to discover and develop new, unorthodox ways of collaborating and new ways of conducting artistic and scientific research.

Het Lectoraat Kunst en Publieke Ruimte van de Rietveld Academie presenteert:
22 and 23 April 2010 Trouw Amsterdam
In dit tweedaags symposium (22 en 23 april 2010) wordt interactieve kunst in de publieke ruimte onder de loep genomen aan de hand van drie kernbegrippen: object, interface en affect.

The professorship Art and Public Space of the Rietveld Academie presents:
22 and 23 April 2010 Trouw Amsterdam
The two-day symposium A wedge between private and public looks at interactive art in public space from the perspective of three core concepts: object, interface and affect. On day one, theoreticians discuss and expand on these principles, while the second day focuses on three case studies. The symposium creates a clear connection between the theory of interactive art – often considered from the discourse of new media – and the practical aspects involved in commissions in the public space. The symposium is a follow-up to Research into the functioning of interactive art in semi-public space organised by the Research Group Art and Public Space of the Rietveld Academy commissioned by SKOR.

JAKOB KOLDING - STAKES IS HIGH, opening March 27 2010
Read more
JAKOB KOLDING - STAKES IS HIGH 28 March - 16 May Opening: Saturday 27 March 5 – 7p.m. at the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam. The exhibition will be opened by Ann Goldstein, director of the Stedelijk Museum The exhibition ‘Stakes is High’ by Jakob Kolding is in part the result of a residency by the Danish artist in Amsterdam's Zuidas quarter, the new financial center of the Netherlands. The idealistic background and social implications of post-World War II urban planning and development in Europe have formed an important background for Kolding's work, who himself grew up in a new residential development near Copenhagen. Jakob Kolding (b. 1971, Albertslund, Denmark) studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Among his solo exhibitions have been appearances at the Kunstverein in Hamburg, Team Gallery, Cubitt, Galleri Nicolai Wallner, Galerie Martin Janda and Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art. For the Frankfurter Kunstverein he realised a semi-permanent installation. The exhibition ‘Jakob Kolding – Stakes is High’ was made possible in part through the collaboration between the SMBA, the Research Group of Art & Public Space of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Virtual Museum Zuidas, and the Danish Arts Agency.
