Hold Your Horses: An exhibition by PIET ZWART INSTITUTE FINE ART CLASS 2025

In continuing the tradition begun last year, the students from the Master of Fine Art program at Piet Zwart Institute will partially take over our spaces for three short days, this time occupying the ground floor and mezzanine. Hold your Horses presents recent works by artists at the midway point in their graduate studies. This exhibition marks the end of the first year of study and beginning of the second, a threshold in the arc of their studies and artistic practices. Coming together around wide-ranging definitions and methods of research as a framework, the artists in the exhibition consider the historical, social, and spatial contexts of A Tale of A Tub as a testing ground. Experimental forms of making, collecting, hosting and archiving among other strategies offer new ways of engaging with cultural legacies, histories and conversations that expand from local to global contexts.

Hold Your Horses is curated by course director Daniel Giles and features Szilvia Bolla, Simone Brerup, Giulia Crivellaro, João de Castro Faria Paim, Erin Donnelly, Sam Janssen, Chryso Amaya Michailidis, Ambrose O’Meagher, Raziel Perin, Micha Prinsen, Noah van de Wetering and Suyoung Yang.
