18th May 2016, De Ateliers, Amsterdam

This year more than any year, I had the feeling that the artists did what I would expect from art students: to research and to experience. This year in many works, like this one of Brendan Anton Jaks, the artist explored and tried out how martials works, inventing new forms, experienced space, mixing together different media and looking for balance. There were some students that still wanted to be nice by producing a nice product but overall there was finally an atmosphere of breaking the rules and looking for new land.
