Reinventing Daily Life

Contributions by Heske ten Cate, Lucas De Man, Martijn de Rijk, Thomas Spijkerman, Lara Staal

Does art possess the power to cause structural and meaningful changes in daily life? How can we inject our daily reality with the estranging, binding, and reflective qualities of theater, performance art, and the visual arts? Using the artist’s desire to escape institutional space as a point of departure, the temporary master Reinventing Daily Life investigated the implications, the possibilities, and the limits of daily life as inspiration, as a place for presentation, and as a central material. This publication marks the completion and distillation of this inquiry. By means of a critical essay, correspondence with kindred spirits from the field, and visual impressions of the alumni’s work, this book reflects on the possibility to merge art and life, fiction and reality, and on the importance of this process for the future of artistic practice.

Series
The Sandberg Instituut at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam, offers master programs in fields of art and design. Working to align the institute with urgent contemporary topics, director Jurgen Bey has introduced a series of one-off, two-year master programs. The Sandberg Series is a record of these temporary programs as well as a platform for critical reflection on this educational model. Each volume delves into the insights and outcomes of the program it covers and provides space for engagement with a broader public.
