March, 2025

The 6th of March is going to be the kick start of The Magic of Jewellery, a collaboration project for an exchange of stories with students of the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department and Stichting Vitaal Segbroek and Sugar House Studios.

During the project we will explore how to create healthy connections with and within a community, by approaching art as a service and as a public space. How does socially engaged art align with the needs coming from different institutional and non-institutional spheres? How are these needs experienced from a community perspective? What are the boundaries of a community and how does art influence these boundaries? Should art influence them?
The students will delve into such exploration through a series of a community walks and cooking events, together with the community of the Stichting Vitaal Segbroek and the collective Sugar House Studios.

For the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department, the project is part of a larger commitment of its education: engaging students with society and collaborating with partners that reside also outside of their immediate environment as a fundamental aspect of the department’s pedagogical perspective.

February 2025

At least twice a year, the student of the Jewellery- Linking Bodies department go for a studio visit. This semester, the department have visited Maksud Ali Mondal’s studios at De Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten

Maksud’s practice includes facilitating experiential understanding of organisms in a durational, built microcosm, using sculpture, painting, installation, and photography including temperature, humidity, moisture, dampness, and light. He is interested in generating reflections on how we understand ourselves in relation to each other, including other species, organisms, and civilizations as well as our place in the transforming environment. His work deals with microbial contamination as a conversational expression, based on the observation of growth, transformations, and decomposition of organic matter by bacteria, fungi, plants, microbial creatures, fermentation, decomposition, oxidation, and rotting, as well as with the organic, man-made, found objects and everyday, discarded materials.
