Collective Tapestry

If you could draw on the big white wall of the Rietveld Canteen…what would you draw? Join renowed artists Gijs Frieling and Job Wouters in the making of a collective painterly mural. For a week long, students will together with the artists, paint the 16 x 6 metres wall in the Canteen of the Rietveld building. The aim is to make a collective tapestry, in which all individual handwritings will contribute to one piece. The thematics of this project are a research on collectivity and working together – which in a way is public since all of it will take place in the canteen. The wall paining will be like a contemporary grafitti; it will disappear after some time. What remains is the collective thoughts and gestures made by the group of painters.
