"I had the privilege of being taught by David Reif, who has a profound understanding of the contemporary art context. His teaching went beyond surface-level discussions; he facilitated deep, thought-provoking conversations that delved into the intricacies of contemporary art, politics, and society.

David fostered a flat-structured group dynamic, creating an open and inclusive environment where every student felt comfortable sharing their perceptions and ideas. This approach encouraged critical thinking and meaningful exchanges, which made our sessions incredibly enriching.

I’m deeply grateful to David for opening the gates of contemporary art for me. He guided me into this vast, endless world with a critical perspective on the ongoing processes shaping art and its intersection with the world around us. His mentorship has been instrumental in shaping my understanding and approach to contemporary art."
