Public Lecture: Ronald Rietveld (RAAAF)

In recent years, the multifaceted role of the curator in museums, exhibition spaces, and cultural heritage sites has expanded significantly. Curators are expected to produce innovative scholarship, invent new fundraising formats, digitize collections, collaborate with artists, and engage with society in order to rethink the museum as a sustainable place for the future. They have also moved from traditional institutional contexts to include public spaces as a site of curation.In 2021, our successful summer school series“The Knowledge of the Curator”centres on the increasing interest in curatorial projects that cross the boundaries between art and nature. Can artistic interventions forge meaningful relationships between humans and nature? What is the history of curating beyond museum walls? Can contemporary art enhance ecological awareness and local identities? What are the characteristics and challenges of ‘landscape-based’ curating and can the environment be curated at all?Intended for art historians preparing for a career in museums, cultural institutions, or academia, as well as active professionals in those fields, this course is devoted to the knowledge, expertise, and skills required to meet the challenge of curating art and the environment.Organized by the Department of History of Art, Architecture & Landscape.

Hardcore Heritage: Imagination for Preservation

The Hardcore Heritage approach introduced by RAAAF represents a new way of thinking about monuments and cultural heritage. The national monuments Bunker 599 and Deltawerk // should be read as built artistic manifestos that show the power of this method. Hardcore Heritage is about transforming cultural heritage to trigger imagination. Through deliberate destruction, radical changes in context, and seemingly contradictory additions, a new field of tensions arises between present, past and future.Ronald Rietveld graduated in 2004 cum laude at the Amsterdam Academy of Arts. His working period during Prix de Rome 2006 at the Rijksakademie of Visual Arts in Amsterdam was the early beginning of RAAAF. After winning the golden medal he founded the multidisciplinary and experimental studio together with his brother and Socrates Professor in Philosophy Erik Rietveld. RAAAF works at the intersection of visual art, architecture and philosophy. RAAAF’s work has been published world-wide and exhibited at leading contemporary art- and architecture biennales such as those of São Paulo, Istanbul, Chicago and Venice. Ronald &amp; Erik Rietveld are members of the Society of Arts of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts &amp; Sciences (KNAW).
