interactive archive
Create Your Own Calendar (Maak Je Eigen Agenda) is an interactive installation originally presented in the entrance hall of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (KABK). The installation comprises 11 calendars that provide insight into the vision and work of painter and former head of the Fine Arts Department Johan van Oord.
Each academic year during his tenure Van Oord compiled a calendar with personal notes, appointments and sketches. Together, these beautiful books form an intimate picture of his reign and mentorship.

The eleven journals include a great diversity of handwritten notes and observations.
