Rietveld Sandberg Research
Publication IN/Search RE/Search, edited by Gabrielle Kennedy, designed by Haller Brunm and published by Valiz with Gerrit Rietveld Academie / Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam, features works by various Sandberg & Rietveld alumni and students. The publication explores how solid research skills are crucial for artists and designers if the cultural sector is to be able to contribute viable alternative ways of thinking to counter the dangerous and pervasive neoliberal forces influencing the globe.
How can research in art academies find a wider context? How to select topics, how to build up processes and find results, how to reflect and how to relate to the wider world? The projects presented in IN/ search RE/ search come from the Rietveld Sandberg community and all change the angle, alter the understanding, and open up new possibilities in the hunt to discover what is not yet known or understood. These ways of exploring, thinking, making and reflecting build connections back to the real world of culture, industry, housing, education, politics, public space, advertising, and science. This embrace of research strives for a more transdisciplinary way forward, outside the bubble of graduation shows, gallery openings, peer feedback, and funding cycles. This approach both contributes to and advances knowledge in a networked and complex environment.

The book is for sale online and you can find it in different museum and bookshops, for example at Stedelijk Museum Shop and at San Serriffe.
