DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kim Nuijen’s baby is born

Happy news, Kim’s son has been born! Lou Hardy is his name, and he arrived on Earth at 14:11 on Tuesday 16 May.

Lou is as healthy as a horse, and Kim and Dirk are enjoying every minute with him, settling into the parenting rhythm and feeling in love in a way they’ve never felt before.

Kim would like to thank everyone for all the sweet messages she has received.

Eddo Hartmann: Change of scenery

Dear colleagues and students,

I have decided to step down as a teacher at the KABK. After a successful third block with a special field trip for the second year, I think it's a good moment to bring things to a close.

Part-time Compact Course fresh start

Over the last few months, after feedback from our Part-time students, a teachers task team has been set up to see how the current curriculum and schedule can be energized. So watch this space! On 2 June, Part-time students will get a chance to give feedback on the developing ideas. In Aug’23 the Part-time Compact Course will start fresh with the first Fast Track Week!

I find myself at a crossroads where I must choose between deepening my work as a teacher or continuing my path as an artist. I have enjoyed working with all of you for the past 7 years. It has been challenging at times due to the circumstances we faced together, but it certainly never became dull :)

When I graduated from KABK in the mid-90s, I felt the need to give something back to the institution that gave me so much on many levels.

I am very grateful to have been able to do that with your help.

I am excited to see what the future holds for both myself and the academy. All the best, Eddo
