door Gerrit Rietveld Academie
RietveldTV is Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s monthly TV show. It is broadcast every last Sunday at 10pm by SALTO1 and afterwards forever online on Vimeo. Every month an alum is invited to use the set frame of a 12-minute episode for the development of a new moving image work. Since 2023, every academic year a curatorial team consisting of four students from different departments and academic years is found through an Open Call. The team is guided in their collective process by Public & Projects and a RietveldTV coordinator who is also a Rietveld alum.

RietveldTV by Izzy Lee: Go Tell It to the Mountain
A tale has thrived in a world where whispers carry more weight than truth. It is a buzz about an enigmatic female alien, cast aside by society, its possible existence feeding into countless rumors. Her otherworldly appearance spreads fear and mistrust… Go Tell It to the Mountain follows a mystery about a bird-woman living in the depth of the forest. The mountain serves as a backdrop where rumors are shaped, distorted and reborn. Whispers weave a narrative that grows on its own. Rumors nurture this creature. Different voices guide you. She is ever-changing. ---Izzy Lee graduated from the VAV-moving image in 2024. She works across video, sculpture, and installation based between Amsterdam and Seoul. At the heart of her practice is the figure of the “female alien,” a recurring protagonist that exists on the fringes of society. Her work explores displacement not merely as a social condition, but as a sensory experience. Through the use of fluid, shifting characters, she blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction, offering a lens into the lives of beings navigating the periphery.Her most recent film No-da-ji Land has been selected for this year's International Film Festival Rotterdam. This RietveldTV episode is a 12-minute adaptation of her graduation work.
RietveldTV by the Curatorial Team + Erika Roux: RatveldTV – Two Truths and a Lie
Set in the year 2124, the futuristic film imagines the Gerrit Rietveld Academie as a floating campus on a boat. The plot follows two art students navigating the process of admission, completing assignments, and participating in the graduation show, all within one day and in the setting of the academy at sea. The episode expresses and enhances worries and concerns of current students, like the precarity of studying in a crammed, expensive European city and pokes fun at some art-school clichés. It evokes a perpetual lack of time, painting the picture of a frantic, quite literally unstable atmosphere on the boat where things get salty!Starring: Pablo Cuerto Felgueroso Arocha, Polina Ertel and The Swedish Festivities Choir/Svenska Högtidskören (Sara Nygård, Aušrinė Trakanavičiūtė, Ina Felländer).⭐The RietveldTV curatorial team 24/25 were: Saskia den Hartigh (DOGtime), Bjarke Fuglsbjerg (VAV), Lefteris Katsarakis (VAV), Sara Darle Olsson (Architectural Design).
