The speed and complexity of technological and cultural developments strongly influence contemporary and future practices in art and design. Therefore the professional world is looking for young creatives with a multitude of talents and skills, the ones who look beyond the borders of their original discipline: creating pioneers. Pioneers because they’re not trained to reproduce what already exists, but to put the future applications and techniques into practice right now.
Willem de Kooning Academy is a cradle for creating pioneers. We are proudly presenting the outstanding performances of some of our recent year's promising graduates, as an illustration of what being a 'creating pioneer' is about. Come and visit us at the Dutch Design Week from October 21 -29.
