On December 9th, 2020, at Perdu in Amsterdam, The Pendant will be presented during the launch event of the new issue of Simulacrum magazine, followed by a Q&A with Mayıs Rukel. The evening will also feature a reading by artist Alina Lupu of her 2016 text You Asshole, as well as an interview with Sandra Kisters, Head of Collection and Research at Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, related to her 2017 publication The Lure of the Biographical: On the (Self-) Representation of Modern Artists.


The video portraits are created in collaboration with the artists to offer insight into their ways of thinking and working, allowing viewers to delve deeper into the practices of our graduates. You can watch the video portrait of Mayıs Rukel discussing The Pendant here. The interview was conducted by Luuk Heezen, and the video was filmed and edited by Rik Lauwen.

Selected 2020 was conceptualized and produced by Vere van Hal and Bieneke Bennekers.
