Het Nieuwe Instituut

A guided meditation created by artist Annika Kappner invites the visitor to explore the (bio) diversity and complexity of The New Garden.

Set Stage Screen: Realities of Postproduction investigates how contemporary video culture operates as a public space for consumerism, activism and emancipation, by exposing existing realities and by imagining alternatives.

In each edition (this is the 40th), Archiprix presents the most talented graduates from Dutch institutions offering master’s programmes in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture and (in this and the previous edition) interior architecture. These are the designers that will literally shape the future, in the Netherlands and beyond.

Het Nieuwe Instituut’s production location turns visitors into digital designers. In Long Live the Future! families design the world in the year 2520. And if you’re a designer of the future, anything is possible.

In Sonneveld House, Gijs Bakker and K. Schippers present combinations of jewellery and poetry which they have selected especially for the occasion from their extensive oeuvres. The result is a setting in which visitors can make new connections and entertain alternative interpretations.

What Do Landscapes Say? explores how art and critical artistic research might inform the development of diverse urban environments by looking at landscapes.

A screening of videos by Manuel Correa and Dima Srouji will be followed by a conversation on the practice of unearthing monuments and its contribution to the construction of history.
