Florian Cramer [Taiwanese name 官無名] (1969), reader/practice-oriented research professor in Autonomous Art and Design Practices at Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam, Netherlands. (2025)

Florian Cramer is a reader (in Dutch: lector, in Canadian English: research chair in Research-Creation, in non-UK English: practice-oriented research professor) in 21st Century Visual Culture at Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam, Netherlands, an art and design school which is part of Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool Rotterdam).

Within the research department of the Willem de Kooning Academy, he is specialized in Autonomous Practices, one of its three B.A. graduation profiles. The Autonomous Practices curriculum and projects are looking into new ways of defining, creating and experimenting with autonomy in the arts and elsewhere, as opposed to traditional, and now often problematic, Western paradigms of aesthetic and artistic autonomy.

Currently, he is a supervisor in the Dutch Professional Doctorate Arts + Creative pilot program as well as a co-supervisor of PhD candidates at Leiden University and University of Amsterdam.

He has co-supervised two research projects funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), respectively its applied-science branch SIA:

  • Autonomy Lab; this project investigates how artist/research/activist/multidisciplinary collectives give new meaning to autonomy, and how and for whom autonomy is practiced and created in their work.

Outside his school, he is an associate member of the Pearl River Delta-based 展銷場 Display Distribute collective, operating as the Rotterdam Relay Center of its 後勤慢遞 LIGHT LOGISTICS courier service. He also runs the weekly radio program Mixed Business on Radio WORM, am a student/tutor in the BananSkole and board member of Stichting Lezeren, an artist-run non-profit organization for free Dutch language and literacy courses.

He is on the academic advisory board for the arts magazine Neural and of APRJA, a peer-reviewed Open Access journal published by the media studies department of Aarhus University, Denmark, and on the advisory board of PASS, the Center for Practice-Based Art Studies of University of Copenhagen, Denmark. (2025)
