Joke Robaard: Folders, Suits, Pockets, Files, Stocks
Artist and photographer Joke Robaard, originally trained in fashion, investigates human configurations (e.g., networks of friends or neighbors). After "directing" individuals into certain positions and patterns in relation to one another, she photographs them, using clothing to illustrate where connections lie and how they constantly shift.
Archive Species
Archive Species' is an inquiry into the representation of clothed bodies in print media since the 1970s. Artist Joke Robaard and writer Camiel van Winkel have been re-assembling and re-reading the vast archive of fashion and newspaper images that Robaard has collected since 1979.

The essays in this book, on topics such the assembled self, the construction and deconstruction of garments, and the metaphorical potential of textile and fabric, should be read in close connection to the prolific visual material.
Artistic Research
Currently, advanced art education is in the process of developing (doctorate or PhD) research programs throughout Europe. Therefore, it seems to us urgent to explore what the term research actually means in the topical practice of art. After all, research as such is often understood as a method stemming from the alpha, beta or gamma sciences directed towards knowledge production and the development of a certain scientific domain. How is artistic research connected with those types of scientific research, taking into account that the artistic domain so far has tended to continually exceed the parameters of knowledge management? One could claim that the artistic field comprises the hermeneutic...
Exploding Aesthetics
Today, many visual artists are giving the cold shoulder to the static, isolated concept of visual art and searching instead for novel, dynamic connections to different image strategies. Because of that, visual art and aesthetics are both forced to reconsider their current positions and their traditional apparatus of concepts. In that process, many questions surface. To mention a few: Could the characteristics of an artistic image and its specific manner of signification be determined in a world which is entirely aesthetisized? What would be the consequences of a variety of image strategies for aesthetic experience? Would it be possible to develop a form of cultural criticism by means of arti...

Dictionary Dressings
Femke de Vries is an artist/researcher who explores the interaction between clothing (as material objects of use) and fashion (as a process of value production). Dictionary Dressings is an ongoing research project by de Vries that uses the nature of the dictionary definition as a zero condition for a piece of clothing in order to decode clothes and explore an alternative fashion vocabulary.To generate inclusive modes of production, the artist brings together designers, researchers and students to explore opportunities. Overlapping and interlinking theory with hands-on making, she pushes beyond trends and accepted social and design codes to offer a fundamental shift in perspective that contributes valuable insights to the broader cultural discourse of fashion.
