VrijMiBouwkunst with Niels Matitawaer
16:00 tot 18:30
Oude Kraan 26, OK26.0.07On Friday afternoon, November 20, ArtEZ Academy of Architecture and CASA are once again organizing a VrijMiBouwkunst event.
This event will be held in Dutch.
On Friday afternoon, 20 November, ArtEZ Academy of Architecture and Architecture Centre CASA are once again organising a VrijMiBouwkunst event. The guest speaker is ArtEZ alumnus Niels Matitawaer. He graduated from the Academy of Architecture in 2018 and was nominated for the Archiprix for his project Het Block, which explores hip-hop culture. His practice now encompasses both commercial and artistic work. He creates, programmes and organises for the art collective P1 Projects, runs his own practice as a tattoo artist and artist, and simultaneously works as a freelance project developer. His work, including collaborations with ArtEZ Fine Art alumnus Martinus Papilaja, has been exhibited at ACEC in Apeldoorn and during the Gelderland Biennale in Nijmegen. In 2024, in collaboration with Papilaja, Wolf Books published Katong Tulis, a collection of 250 drawings from a residency in Rotterdam.
How does an intensive architecture programme lead to both a commercial and an autonomous, critically engaged artistic practice? And what dilemmas and choices does this involve? Following a short presentation, Niels will engage in a discussion with the students and other attendees. Afterwards, there will be Friday afternoon drinks.
Please note: This edition of VrijMiBouwkunst will not take place at NiCo (Coehoornstraat), but in the ArtEZ auditorium (Oude Kraan 26, OK26.0.07).
Students (Master’s and foundation course) and alumni of the ArtEZ Academy of Architecture are invited, as are members of the CASA society. If you do not belong to this target group but would still like to attend, please contact the ArtEZ Academy of Architecture (AcademievanBouwkunst@ArtEZ.nl).
The next VrijMiBouwkunst events will take place on 26 February and 21 May at NiCo (Coehoornstraat 17).
