NEUHAUS Academy for More-Than-Human Knowledge NEUHAUS Academy for more-than-human knowledge 1 Het Nieuwe Instituut “Let us therefore create a new guild of craftsmen craftspeople without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman craftsperson and artist. Culture of the few and the many, research and experience, human and nonhuman, science and poetry! Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting everything in one unity a multiplicity which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystalline living symbol of a new faith.” — Walter Gropius, Bauhaus Manifesto, April 1919; updated by Neuhaus, April 2019 3 Het Nieuwe Instituut In collaboration with academies, designers, artists, theatre makers, machines, chefs, inventors, researchers, algorithms, activists and neighbours, Neuhaus ran a open-ended curriculum that revolved around the following questions: What could humans—if they actively ignore their own values and needs—learn from and with more-than-human actors and in what ways can humans arrive at these alternative forms of knowledge?

  • Codarts Research Festival, That Will Take Place on Thursday 11 March 2021
    Dear reader, A wholehearted welcome to the fifth edition of the Codarts Research Festival, that will take place on Thursday 11 March 2021. Due to the continuing covid-19 pandemic this will be an online event, with live streamed presentations in ZOOM 1, and online presentations in ZOOM 2. This year's edition has a distinct RASL*) -flavor, as the theme is ‘Social engagement and the Arts.’ As the ‘traditional’ jobs in the arts are under increased pressure, and our society is faced by seemingly insurmountable problems, like climate change and pollution, but also social disintegration and loneliness, many artists feel the need to reposition themselves and look for ways to contribute. The covid-19 pandemic has made these problems even more acute. The Research Festival will address these issues, with (inter)national speakers from the world of dance, music and theater, next to a variety of research presentations from Codarts students and staff. And you are invited to caste your vote for the audience award during the annual Master research competition. *) RASL is the Rotterdam Arts and Science Lab. An intense collaboration between Codarts Rotterdam, Arts & Culture Studies (EUR), Erasmus University College (EUR) and Willem de Kooning Academy, with the aim to examine the relationship between the arts and society in a transdisciplinary way. If you haven’t done so already, we kindly request you to register for the Festival using this link: https://codarts.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIoc-ytpz0tGt2-wNg97GnMHAcBsoMGKw6A Upon registration you will receive a confirmation and the ZOOM link plus password that gives you access to the Festival on the day itself.

  • Statement on Social Safety in Art Education 20 May 2021
    Statement on Social Safety in Art Education 20 May 2021 In the KUO Sector Agenda 2021-2025, social safety is explicitly named as a theme.1 It is clear that the sector considers social safety a crucial issue and we have decided to elaborate on this theme in a joint approach. This is informed in part by the attention recently paid to various issues of social safety. In this context, studies have been carried out, discussions held, conclusions drawn and policies and procedures reviewed at various art schools. The sector takes a critical look at itself and takes steps where necessary. This statement and the accompanying ‘outline of the social safety code’ are the next step in that process, a joint step that we are taking as a sector. As an art education sector, we wish to send out a clear joint signal. A signal that shows that the sector is aware that social safety is not an ad-hoc matter but requires constant attention. And that social safety consists of various facets and therefore forms an integral part of our organisations and of the dialogue. In addition to the existing approach at the various art schools, a follow-up step is therefore now being taken in which we work together. In art education, everyone should be able to work and study in a good and professional atmosphere that is safe and transparent, both in teaching and in research. It is crystal clear that undesirable behaviour such as bullying, discrimination, intimidation, sexual harassment, aggression, violence and other forms of transgressive behaviour are unacceptable and must be prevented.

    Vlindersingel 220 NL 3544 VM Utrecht +31 30 87 820 87 www.AeQui.nl [email protected] Master Education in Arts Piet Zwart Institute Report of the limited programme assessment 11-12 May 2017 Utrecht, The Netherlands August 2017 www.AeQui.nl Assessment Agency for higher Education This document is best printed in duplex. 2 Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences Summary On 11 and 12 May 2017 the Master Education in Arts (MeiA) of the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam was visited by an assessment committee of AeQui. The assessment of this programme takes place in the framework of a broader exercise: in the course of 2017 a cluster of seven master programmes in arts education is assessed. The programme was set up in 2006 and is offered in its current form since September 2013. It targets arts, design and education practitioners who combine their study with a professional career. The curriculum is taught in English, consists of 60 EC and is offered in a part-time variant spread over two years. As part of the course portfolio of the Piet Zwart Institute at the Willem de Koo- ning Academy (WdKA) in Rotterdam, MEiA stands out from other arts education master programmes because it focuses not only on arts but also on design education, its international dimension, its trans-disciplinary approach and its empha- sis on research. For this assessment the committee has used the NVAO framework for limited programme assessment. The committee judges the overall quality of the Master Education in Arts programme at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rot- terdam to be good.

KUO NEXT: een korte terugblik In oktober 2016 presenteerden de hogescholen de nieuwe strategische agenda KUO NEXT 2016-2020. Na de succesvolle uitvoering van het Sectorplan Focus op Toptalent in de jaren daarvoor wilden de hogescholen met kunstopleidingen ge- zamenlijk verder en hun samenwerking intensiveren. Samen wilden ze werken aan de kwaliteit van het onderwijs, daarbij inspelend op vragen uit de samenleving en innovatiebehoef- ten in het werkveld. Verbinding met de omgeving vormde een belangrijke leidraad. In KUO NEXT werden vier thema’s centraal gesteld: talent ontwikkeling, flexibilisering, onderzoek, en inter- nationalisering en relaties. Jaarlijks werd verslag gedaan aan het Ministerie van OCW over de voortgang in de agenda. In deze 1. KUO NEXT: EEN KORTE TERUGBLIK vierde, afsluitende rapportage wordt u uitgebreid geïnformeerd over de opbrengsten van KUO NEXT voor het hoger kunstonder- wijs en over de verschillende thema’s. Binnen alle vier de thema’s laat het hbo-kunstonderwijs stevige ontwikkelingen zien, maar misschien wel de belangrijkste opbrengst van KUO NEXT is dat de relaties tussen hogescholen met kunstonderwijs onderling én met externe partijen, zoals werk-en beroepenveld, cul- turele en maatschappelijke organisaties, overheden en bedrijfsleven verder zijn verdiept. Kennisuitwisseling, kennisdeling en samenwerking waren de afgelopen jaren belangrijke sleutelwoorden. De regelmatig terugkerende werkconferenties, waar interne en externe stakeholders elkaar ontmoetten, zijn een belangrijke katalysator ge- bleken voor samenwerking.
