Platform for emerging Rietveld artists: "After graduation you fall into a black hole"
Graduates from Amsterdam's Rietveld Academie are receiving a new platform to showcase their work at an advertising agency in the Houthavens to prevent their art from being forgotten after school. The year-long exhibition, titled No Fixed Outcome, highlights the creative processes of various young artists who often struggle to find visibility early in their professional careers.
Recent graduates from the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam often struggle to transition into the professional art world, frequently finding their work stored away in boxes shortly after leaving school. To address this issue, a new initiative provides these alumni with a dedicated exhibition space at an advertising agency located in the Houthavens area. The exhibition, titled No Fixed Outcome, features a diverse range of artistic mediums including kinetic sculptures, glass objects, and oil paintings, all highlighting the creators' meticulous development processes. Curated by Freddy Tratlehner and Jeroen Kramer, the year-long display aims to offer emerging artists vital exposure they might otherwise lack early in their careers. Participating artists like Inka Hilsenbek and Marthe Wille have noted the difficulty of finding an audience after graduation, making the opportunity to showcase their work publicly essential. Located at Koivistokade 56, the gallery serves as a significant platform for these artists to step out of their private studios and connect with the broader public.
