DAI-bulletin
Dear friends and relations of the DAI,
April is the cruellest month - but not in Arnhem. The past days have brought us an intensive 3 day 'bootcamp' with young artists tentatively interested in our program. In only one day they published their own magazine and tomorrow they will stand up as lecture performers.
From tomorrow onward the regular DAI-students and staff will embark on their 7th DAI-week of this academic year. This week you are again welcome to attend our PUBLIC PROGRAM: we proudly draw your attention to lectures OPEN TO THE PUBLIC with 3 distinguished and very cool guest speakers :

April 18, 15.00 hrs, kindly hosted by the MMKA, Museum voor Moderne Kunst Arnhem, Utrechtseweg 87.
*** Brian Holmes
Followed by a discussion with Charles Esche .
April 19, 20.00 hrs at our auditorium, Kortestraat 27, Arnhem.
The guest lecturers & faculty that only our students will meet during the DAI's week-long line up of seminars, tutorials, presentations, screenings, projects and communal lunches and dinners are Otobong Nkanga, Jan-Philipp Possmann, Mariët Bakker, The Black Swan ( participants of de Appel Curatorial Programme 2011/2012), Alena Alexandrova, Doreen Mende, Renée Ridgway, Ian White, Tanja Baudoin, Myriam van Imschoot, Florian Göttke, Fay Nicolson and Alfredo Cramerotti .
