Here

At our school, we temporarily create a different place.

Even at Cambridge they speak of Oxford as the other place, and vice versa.

It is about both distance and a familiar relationship.

Another place, the second place.

Nearly a victory, such a minor defeat.

Not all opportunities should always be taken advantage of.

Questioning the idea that it is only about a place on the job market and art market.

Over the past decade, our school was not the site of its own graduate exhibition.

It was a benefit that was taken for granted.

Unease is settling in.

Resistance to exhibiting this year’s graduates at the school.

The understandable desire for some better place.

The school is always where we exhibit term projects.

There is no motivation.

The loss of one place can lead to finding a lot of space, a joint meditation on the school’s new place in the future.

What this place is today and how we use it.

What kind of place it should be and how we occupy it today.

A series of meetings in the gallery, the auditorium, the rector’s office, and in the school’s studios.

We negotiate.

What it means to make oneself public here or elsewhere?

What forms of coming together this place can bear?

What level of mobilization we can bear?

The creation of the week-long festival Another Place is in making, a summer fest.

A virtual online space for this year’s graduates is created.

We invite artists, curators, gallerists and critics from other places to see the graduate exhibition and to talk on work in art and pedagogy.

On the first day of the festival, we take several doors off their hinges.
