OPEN DAY

February 7 2013 from 14.00 – 20.00 hrs.

Application is open from January 1 - closing April 1 2013

Main Programmes

Fine Arts (MFA);

Course director: Krist Gruijthuijsen - tutors: Nicoline van Harskamp, Raimundas Malašauskas, Jason Dodge – The programme retains its focus on the notions of autonomy and creation, while addressing the social and economical roles and implications of these traditional parameters of art production. The programme is structured around modules exploring the realms of language, image, object, performance and representation.

Design / Think Tank for visual strategies (MDes);

Course director: Annelys de Vet - tutors: Nina Folkersma, Jan-Kees van Kampen, Dimitri NIeuwenhuizen, Rob Schröder, Daniel van der Velden - The department functions as a cultural think tank for visual strategies. Students commit themselves to various cultural, social and political research based visual projects, putting together their own programme with an open curriculum and creating hybrid forms of communication that draw on their skills as writers, editors, visualizers, programmers, conceptualizers and designers.

Applied Arts / Dirty Art Department (MDes);

Course directors: Jerszy Seymour and Catherine Geel - tutors: Clemence Seilles, Stephane Barbier Bouvet - This programme provides an open space for all possible thought, creation and action. Acting as a designer is seen as a dynamic paradox, flowing between the pure and applied, the existential and deterministic, and the holy and profane. It explores the relationship between the built and natural world, between the collective and the individual. The programme is open to designers, artists, bankers, sceptics, optimists, philosophers, thinkers, farmers, anarchists…anyone with an inquiring mind.

Interior Architecture / Studio for Immediate Spaces (MIA);

Course director: Anne Holtrop - tutors: Bas Princen, Jan de Vylder, Inge Vinck, Jo Taillieu, John Lonsdale, Sophie Krier, Lucy Cotter, Tom Vandeputte - This programme welcomes all those who are eager to experiment and explore the spaces around us, to examine how these are made up, what they consist of and how people use and relate to them. The course is open to students with a Bachelor’s degree in Design, Interior Design / Spatial Design or Architecture or in related fields, as is anyone that can show comparable work experience.
Two new temporary Master programmes will focus on urgent questions in art, design and society… please check our website for the latest information. We anticipate to open the programmes for application mid-January 2013!

Material Utopias (MFA);

Course director: Louise Schouwenberg - tutors: Folkert de Jong, Jens Pfeifer, Bastienne Kramer - The programme aims to exploit the making process to the fullest. Experimentation with both traditional and new materials, and reflection on their characteristics and inherent meanings, will play a major role. The student is expected to possess highly developed craft skills in working with a specific material, and the openness to expand and push its borders, as well as develop expertise with new materials and media.

Art and Learning / School of Missing Studies (MFA);

course directors: Bik van der Pol - “While public space is being transformed beyond recognition, art education has never been so close to, yet so far away from cultural production. Education has fallen behind, as political and economical forces have come to shape the perception of culture. Education and learning need to reclaim space, as they are means to participate in politics, creating forms of political socialization”.

Vacant.nl (MIA);

Our first temporary programme on vacancy in buildings and public space will end in the summer of 2013. Course directors Eric and Ronald Rietveld will then present the results in a publication.

TREVOR PAGLEN

22 October 2012, 19.30

Trevor Paglen (born in 1974), US) is an American artist and geographer.

He is the author of three books including Torture Taxi (co-authored with investigative journalist A.C. Thompson), which was the first book to comprehensively describe the CIA extraordinary rendition program and I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me, which takes a look at the world of black projects through unit patches and memorabilia created for top-secret programs. In late 2012, Creative Time is launching a golden disc of images created by the artist into outer space attached to communications satellite EchoStar XVI. Audiences on Earth can experience the project, entitled The Last Pictures, through a book co-published by Creative Time Books and University of California Press, as well as through public programs and events exploring this innovative public artwork.

Paglen holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the School for the Art Institute of Chicago and a PhD in geography from the University of California at Berkeley, where he currently works as a researcher.

‘The Sandberg series’ is an ongoing lecture series initiated by the new Master of Fine Arts program of the Sandberg Institute in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut, Amsterdam.  The series directly correspond with the new structure of the program, which explores the idea of  ‘autonomy’ and ‘making’ while simultaneously addressing the social and economical roles and implications of these traditional parameters of art production. The program is structured around custom modules that investigate the realms of language, image, object and performance production and representation.     

The third in the lecture series includes presentations by Trevor Paglen, Tim Etchells, Joachim Koester and Sissel Toolas.

12 juni 2012 Persbericht

Sandberg Instituut is winnaar van de 'BE OPEN Inside the Academy' prijs 2012

tijdens Design Miami / Basel Zwitserland

Een jury van internationale design experts beoordeelde projecten van de volgende geselecteerde instituten: Le Cambre, België; Ecole Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne (ECAL), Zwitserland; Hochschule Basel, Zwitserland; Konstfack, Stockholm, Zweden; Glasgow Fine Art School, Glasgow, Engeland en Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam, Nederland. Deze instellingen werd gevraagd om drie projecten te presenteren die in het bijzonder bij haar benadering van Design en de educatieve missie passen.

De jury koos het Sandberg Instituut om de BE OPEN Inside the Academy prijs in ontvangst te nemen. De prijs is een waardering van Design opleidingen die ‘design-thinking’ aanwenden om een effect op de toekomst te maken. Het Sandberg Instituut beschikt over een eigen benadering ten aanzien van ‘design-thinking’ en heeft een interessante strategie om volgende generaties ontwerpers succesvol voor te bereiden om te slagen in deze steeds veranderende mondiale omgeving.

De prijs stelt de winnende instelling in staat om een reeks lezingen van vooraanstaande gastdocenten te organiseren en beoogt daarmee de ontwikkeling van de onderwijsprogramma’s verder te bevorderen.
