Accompanying Exhibitions
The Study Room takes a look at how references, in the form of publications, play a role in the development of a design related practice.
The idea of a study room came to existence in domestic architecture around the 15th century and ownership of a study was a sign of education and civilised taste. Often these study rooms featured depictions of Saint Jerome, patron saint of librarians, scholars, and students alike.
Six contributors have been invited to propose a selection of publications that are influential to their work. The invited are designers David Bennewith, Henk Groenendijk, Louise Hold Sidenius and Linda van Deursen, artist Koenraad Dedobbeleer and theorist Tom Vandeputte. In the exhibition the book selections are featured alongside Enzo Mari’s DIY furniture and a portrait of Saint Jerome, from the collection of the Moravian Gallery.
These chosen publications form the start of an upcoming thematic collection of the MG library, dedicated solely to graphic design and visual communication.
The Study Room is curated by Pieter Verbeke (BE)Pieter Verbeke (1982) is an arts organiser based in Amsterdam. He is a librarian at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and has organised exhibitions and projects relating to art collecting and publishing.

She currently works at the graphic design department of the Rietveld Academie. Together with Laura Pappa she organises the annual Asterisk Summer School in Tallinn.
This exhibition was commissioned in the form of an assignment, given by the curators of the 26th Brno Biennial 2014.
