Open Day Gerrit Rietveld Academy

I visited the Open Day of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy artschool because I am in search of a good (art)school with a photography department.



Creation of my sister and her crew.

Onverwachts kreeg ze een 'voldoende' van de beoordelingscommissie. Goed hè?

I helped out my sister at her artschool on the 'big-of-a-deal-before-Christmas-break'! day. Unexpectedly she received the highest out of three 'grades' (sufficient, doubt, insufficient): sufficient...despite receiving a lot of critiques.

Here are a few pics of her work, all taken at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.


Her favorite style...lines, lines, lines, lines and more lines.


It took me a half an hour to put it all back into the shoebox. This whole creation was like, 30 feet (9 / 10 meters) long!!


The artist herself. And her paper hand.

Mediamatic - R.I.P. exhibition

A photographer went to Harlem, NYC, and photographed the dead people in their coffins. Yesterday was the opening of this exhibition in Medimatic in Vijzelstraat!


- Death people in their coffins -


- Mediamatic was founded by Willem Velthoven (man with the microphone and Jans Possel (lady in white with photo-camera)) -


- You could also go to Heaven with the roller stairs. Once in 'Heaven', there was a small exhibition of coffins made in Ghana, Africa -


- Nike shoe coffin! -




- Oh my GOD. It's Mudboy and he creates the most dreamy music I've ever heard. If you're either drunk or 'high on crack', I think he can put you in a trance with his music and kidnap you to his hometown Portland, Rhode Island.-


- Party 'till 1am. -

More pics will be uploaded to my personal website

Open dag - Rietveld Academie - Amsterdam

- Open day - Rietveld Academy -

Yesterday, I went to the Open Day of the Rietveld Academy. Lots of things were going on, on every department of the building. There was even a rockband playing in a very small room in a different building. The Rietveld Academy is quite a prestigious Art School; many people think it's the best of the country, other people think it's not a good art school at all because of the way of teaching.
Anyhow, I've seen a lot of interesting people, and I think 60% of all the students are not Dutch. Haha.


- Button's and scetches -


- Architecture -

Eva & Eefje
These two cutiepies are fashion students. Eva (curly hair girl) studies at Rietveld and Eefje (short hair...love it!) studies in Arnhem at ArtEZ, another prestigious art school. The same school were Viktor & Rolf graduated in 1992. Click on the pictures for a better view.


- How cute. -


- I should've asked another picture of Eefje's outfit under her beautiful coat...I think it was a one-whole-white-suit -


- One of many fashion creations -
