The Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK) is an intensive two-year programme for highly motivated artists who have a specific interest in research processes and are eager to carry out critical reflection in relation to their art practice. This programme will help you to become an autonomous, critically-aware artistic researcher, and will equip you with a complex understanding of the ways art can intersect with the aesthetic, social, political, and historical field.

One month of MAR!

The academic year is off to an amazing start and we’ve loved getting to know our new first year students, and of course seeing our second year’s again after the summer break 🌸

Our first guest of the year was Jana Romanova Jana Romanova who joined us for a (rather wet!) day at the beach. Jana gave a talk about her research into LARPing as artistic practice, and guided us through her own LARP, Flying Field, where we lived through the lifetime of a small group of friends, from age ten to eighty. Flying Field prompted questions about how time changes us and our dreams, and how we become witnesses to each other’s lives.

Thank you Raquel Coll Juncosa Raquel Coll Juncosa for the great photos.

Welcome, MAR Yr 1 💫

Today at 19h we launch the publication ‘MALO’ at Page Not Found!

A few months ago we got together to write and design a publication around the idea of malfunctioning, in its different representations. We all malfunction with something. There’s something we can’t quite cope with in real life, so we make artworks. Making work often operates beyond logic or making sense, like rotating out of orbit, which allows for a different kind of order. It could be a knot in the brain or a machine whose engine starts rotating out of order and produces something completely different than expected, yet this malfunctioning is its only way of working.

The result is now coming to you at Page Not Found !
Come by or get your copy later!

‘Rest Response’
‘Wrist-Easel: Series 1’

Cemre Eraslan is an artist and researcher based in The Hague. She investigates the kinds of novelties present in everyday recursion through the lens of speculative game and apparatus making — by setting up performances and installations that play with iterative prototyping, pattern recognition and improvisation as formative methods.

You can find Cemre’s work in the auditorium and BA.013.

Andrėja Maiburovaitė |
‘Tuopa’

The industrial quality of oil, material presence circulating in family history through labour and infrastructures of extraction have led me to explore the concept of containment. While energy requires continuous movement, the presented oil (although not concealed in pipes) is disciplined. Through containment it becomes a reflection to the self, always a back and forth of piling and removing waste, carving and seeping into the interior architecture of the container walls. The wooden replica of a demolition waste container facilitates a process based sculpture withholding oil that slowly seeps and is absorbed by the raw wood.

You can find Andrėja’s work in the printmaking workshop.

Ada Jochimsen
‘Spin’

The force of gravity acts as a pull on the body [downwards]. Combined with inertia, this can lead to the feeling of being stuck, or blocked, or unable to move. If there is no countering force strong enough to break this [fixation].
Adhesively, it pans. Back and forth, back and forth [do not avert your gaze].
It is a third element, momentum [change of direction], which gives the impulse to movement. Immobility turns to motion, turns over, turns between, turns inwards, turns eyes, turns shoulder blades, turns right now, turns slower, turns off.

The mechanism is that of rotation. A motor spinning. A body turning. A gaze averting.

You can find Ada’s work in the auditorium.

‘Limitropic Zero’

Decay is a process of becoming, moving through countless formations while complex interiors spill outward and actively mutate. Mud bubbles, worms dance, candy wrappers fold into papercranes; braided together as channels of transformation whose byproduct is electricity. Limitropic Zero is a landscape where decay, energy, toxicity and technology entangle, producing forces, meanings, and beings in endless variation.

You can find Sunjoo’s work in BA.013.

Margherita Soldati | .soldati
‘𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓽, 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓱𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓼 𝓶𝓮, 𝓘 𝔀𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓽𝓸 𝓫𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓮 𝓱𝓮𝓻’

Imagine a greenhouse where strawberries grow on human blood.

Drawing from her experience of living with rare and severe allergies, Margherita Soldati explores an impossible relationship between a human body and the plants it cannot touch. Blood, agriculture, and desire become intertwined in a speculative story of attraction and rejection.

Moving between scientific research, personal experience and fiction, the work asks what forms of knowledge emerge when intimacy begins in hostility and coexistence remains uncertain.

You can find Margherita’s work in the auditorium.

Jonas Motiejus Meškauskas |
‘The dogs of Vilejka’

I was wandering through this peculiar sub-urban area in Vilnius, surrounded by dilapidated industrial buildings, railway infrastructure, and a notorious psychiatric ward. There I stumbled upon an abandoned enclosure of doghouses. It stubbornly stood by a factory, kind of camouflaged by bushes. Assembled haphazardly from random leftover materials, it felt like it emerged on its own from all the debris lying around it.

Something in it echoed beyond itself. Perhaps people, like dogs, want to be kept on a leash, only being able to bark, I thought. My installation reimagines that site in a more human register, also shaped by containment and indeterminacy. The structures in it seem stable only at first glance, but reveal themselves as hollow shells. In this way, their functionality is sabotaged, and an odd kind of negative function remains as residue.

You can find Jonas’ work in the printmaking workshop (BA.021).

Nezhla Imanzadeh | 🤹🏻‍♀️نژلا
‘Untitled’ and ‘New Art’

Consider a joke not as a source of laughter, but as a perpetual crisis: An ecosystem of complicity where we are inseparable from the setup.

Operating at the unfortunate intersection where humour, art, politics, theology, and conspiracy co-opt one another, these two works examine the erosion of meaning. Through an in-situ installation and an open table-read of a script, they deploy linguistic jargon and bureaucratic rhetoric to explore how collective belief builds and subsequently annihilates consensus reality.

You can find Nezhla’s works in PA.021 and somewhere at the end of a corridor on the ground floor.

Roland Farkaš | Roland Farkas
‘Traces Appear’

Feel it in the willow branches that rise like memory from the earth. Feel it in the copper wire that hums like an old story passing through time. In my work, these materials pulse with a quiet resilience, shifting as they weave themselves between trap and liberation, between survival and invitation. Here, each sculpture is a space of tension like a trap opening, like a gesture of hope. In this show, I invite you to feel the shift, the unfolding, the way each line and curve lets a new story appear.

You can find Roland’s work in garden patio (BA.B0B) and the entrance to the printmaking workshop.
