RietveldTV by Bea Lamadrid Bayón: Where Does Life Happen?
Life happens inside or outside? When I’m walking, do I look at my feet or at the ground? When I have my eyes open, do I see what is there or what I am thinking about?Too many doors, all there facing your body, front, back, sideways, past, present. Choose. Meanwhile, life will do it for you.“Where Does Life Happen?” Is created with archives, playing with the idea of connecting worlds and times. It searches for grief, lighting, celebration and space for the other. The answer is given. Let’s create life together.About the artist:Bea Lamadrid Bayón is a Spanish video artist, performance director, and producer who graduated from VAV - Moving Image in 2024. In her visual work, ranging from videodance and video art to documentary, Bea plays with reality to offer new perspectives, allowing narratives to emerge through encounters between characters, elements, images, and constructed situations. She approaches archives and editing as narrative devices to explore multiple possible trajectories.In her performance practice, she works with social realities, characters, and shifting perceptions to challenge the position of the audience, as well as their relationship to sound and space. Directing the attention toward provocation, intimacy, and human conflict, confronting taboos and emotional tensions. Her next performance "GAZE" will be presented on March 14 and 15 at Droog in Amsterdam.Bea is Co-funder of Piloto (@pilotoclub), a Performance Residency + Event Series in Sevilla. It is a platform that decentralises live art and creates space for experimentation and cross-disciplinary exchange.

RietveldTV by Avantia Damberg: What the Trees Already Know
A short film about expectation as a movement already present in the world around us: it listens to small movements of expectation in the landscape: wind through branches, water in motion, messages left in public space, and gestures of waiting.Filmed in Curaçao, the work proposes that the future may not be something distant, but something already rehearsing itself quietly around us—and that we may not be waiting alone.About the Artist: Avantia Damberg is a Curaçao-based visual artist working across sculpture, installation, ceramics, murals and audiovisual media. She graduated in Audiovisual Arts in 2007 from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, where her end-exam work was nominated for the Holland Film Festival. Active as an independent artist since 2008, her practice weaves Caribbean histories, creolisation and memory into material-driven, research-based works. Damberg is a member of the Committee Creative Industries Curaçao, had her foundation SKOR Kòrsou for art in public space and her work is exhibited internationally and held in museum collections both in Curaçao as the Netherlands. www.avantiadamberg.art | @avantiadambergartistRietveldTV is Gerrit Rietveld Academie’s monthly TV show.

RietveldTV by Eunkyo Kang: Clue. Mirror. Facade.
A musician finally revived music from 1400 years ago. The notes were gone, but the moon remained. In that distant reflection, something lost was found again.Meanwhile, some kind of real-time is presented. When a shelter is built for lies, do they transform into truth? In a dream, there were no bodies, no need for words. Without a medium, there was no place for questions.Clue. Mirror. Facade. comments on the role of mediation that constantly vibrates our reality, while also exploring the act of "belief," as both truth and lies emerge from the interaction between the two. As we navigate through layers, we are left to wonder if truth itself can ever be fully grasped, or if it is simply a reflection of what we choose to see.---Eunkyo Kang is an artist who works across various media, including installation, video, new media, sound, and performance. Her work explores themes of newness, time, senses, phenomena, and conceptual spaces.Note from the curatorial team: Eunkyo Kang was chosen by the curatorial team after engaging with her immersive installations that challenge the boundaries of reality and questions of clarity and transparency, highlighting the delicate blending of senses as an integral part of worldbuilding. This work engages with the idea of medium/mediation, where truth and lies intersect, and where there’s still room for belief.This episode was produced for the RietveldTV season 24/25: RatveldTV: Two Truths and a Lie.
RietveldTV by Olivia Sahl Jensen + Soujourna Jon-Paul: The Raising and Lowering of an Austrian Drape / Rehearsal Number 2, at De Nieuwe Albina
Camera walks towards the middle of the space. There’s a closed curtain. The camera moves through the curtain. On the other side of the curtain the restaurant continues, the space is almost mirrored. As the Camera moves through, the curtain rag folds around the camera and closes the camera off in a square of curtain. From outside someone on a chair reaches for the camera and takes it away from the camera person. Camera is hooked into a construction on top of the curtain. Camera now films a bird’s eye view of the camera person in the curtain square. Looks like a dressing room. Camera person undresses.Note from the curatorial team:Olivia and Sojourna were our first pick for this season due to the playful nature between front- and backstage in Olivia's recent graduation work, using the physical and metaphorical curtain to divide these states of mind. As the narrator directs our view, they skillfully reveal the seams of our constructed reality, with emphasis on the delicate balance between what’s in view and what remains hidden. 🐀This episode was produced for the RietveldTV season 24/25: RatveldTV: Two Truths and a Lie.The RietveldTV curatorial team 24/25 were: Saskia den Hartigh (DOGtime), Bjarke Tobias Fuglsbjerg (VAV), Lefteris Katsarakis (VAV), Sara Darle Olsson (Architectural Design).

RietveldTV by Mio Hanaoka: Urandâ in Ryukyu and the dream of Baku
Urandâ in Ryukyu and the dream of Baku by Mio Hanaoka Urandâ was the term used to describe Western foreigners in the Ryukyu Kingdom (Okinawa). The word comes from “Holland.” Okinawa has been part of Japan since 1879, but it was once an independent kingdom. Even after its incorporation into Japan, Okinawan people are still often treated as aliens in Japanese society. At the same time, there is a belief of Marebito in Okinawa, a spiritual or divine being that visits from the “other world” at specific times. By combining elements related to the notion of foreignness in the history of the Ryukyu Kingdom and juxtaposing them with the mythological creature Baku—along with its introduction and transformation in Japan—the video attempts to construct a narrative of historical science fiction based on artistic research. The episode will be broadcast Sunday March 29th, 10pm on the local Amsterdam television channel SALTO1 and is afterwards available on Vimeo. About the Artist: Mio Hanaoka was born in Okinawa, currently based in Tokyo. After studying psychology at Waseda University, she graduated from the Fine Arts department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2011, and completed her postgrad degree at the University of Paris 8 in 2018. She is an artist and an art coordinator of an artist-in-residence in Tokyo. Through various media such as installations, performative actions, guided tours, and sleeping events, she continues to explore how de-individualized experiences can be expressed in relation to durational time and eroticism, and attempts to create vehicles that capture ever-changing existence as “duration.” www.miohanaoka.com ---This Episode is part of the 2025/2026 season of RietveldTV: A DATE WITH THE FUTURE, curated by the current curatorial team: Taša Grujić (VAV), Netta Simola (VAV), Luca Deutinger (DOGtime Expanded Painting) and Herkules Jansson (VAV).
RietveldTV by Masha Ryabova: S&M
“dear doctor M, maybe you don’t remember me, you being such a big star now, but i remember you! i love your career! i have been following it, and i know all your lines. well you stay up late, you go to bars, you see too many movies, you don’t write to me at all! what do i do now? i am lonely out of my mind! is there a cure? sometimes during after-hours — for fun and no other reason — i fantasise about my blood pouring outwards, an inexhaustible current of red that spread and spreads and spreads until it eventually seeps into every corner of the — all over the world! — signed, Shadow & Myself” One meaning of the word “monster” is a creature who is entirely self-dependent. In response to the theme of “Third Skin” the episode deals with some of the troubles that plague the linguistic animal, who is constantly in danger of overreaching itself and bringing itself to nothing (in contrast to other mammals, who organise an environment for themselves that does not stretch much beyond their bodies). Loosely based on Cookie Mueller’s advice column, and anchored in personal experiences of isolation and exhaustion, the film follows a protagonist roleplaying the onset and possible resolutions of a health crisis.P.S. from the curatorial team:Works that Masha presented at the Graduation show, stuck in our mind as absorbing and at times repulsive imagery puzzled with words so direct, they get under your skin and make you speechless. We held our breath waiting for Masha’s revealing take on our theme.This episode was produced for the RietveldTV season 23/24: The Third Skin.The RietveldTV curatorial team 23/34 were: Feliz Aaliyah Sanchez Buitrago (Fashion), Mayya Kuznetsova (Fine Arts), Jiyeon Izzy Lee (VAV - moving image) and Karolina Hyun Wilting (VAV - moving image). Coordinators: Rabea Ridlhammer and Vere van Hal (Public & Projects).
