In [S]ELECTED all the nominees for the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Awards 2012 are being shown to the public. During the Rietveld Graduation Exhibition last July, a professional external jury made a selection from the latest crop of artists and designers graduating from the academy in Amsterdam. [S]ELECTED displays contemporary and multidisciplinary work.

The historical context in which [S]ELECTED takes place is unique; in WWII Castrum Peregrini was a hiding place where, in secrecy, young people maintained their intellectual freedom and developed their personal talents through art.
