_____________CALL FOR ARTISTS’ APPLICATIONSDeadline: 15 September 2009
The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production where
artists, designers and theoreticians work alongside each other and establish
cross-disciplinary exchange.
The Fine Art department offers a unique space for experimentation, production,
reflection and debate. The researchers in the department conduct their research
in an environment that encourages questioning of the assumptions, forms,
meanings and contexts that are tied to the practice of making art today. We
welcome artists, individuals and groups, without stipulating conditions
regarding form, content and media.
Artists are invited to apply for a research period in the Fine Art department
of up to two years, starting in January 2010. The central element of the
application is your project proposal, in which you set out the form and content
of your research and production plans. The application deadline is 15 September
2009 (post stamp date).
_____________Programme
The Fine Art department is headed by advising researchers Orla Barry,
Hans-Christian Dany, Hinrich Sachs, Imogen Stidworthy and Nasrin Tabatabai &
Babak Afrassiabi. Their principal task is to advise the Fine Art researchers in
the development of their work.
The artistic practice is supported by a programme of events and sustained
conversations that are organised by the researchers and advising researchers
according to their interests. Throughout the year professionals from different
fields are invited to set up discursive events, on a formal and informal level,
such as presentations, lectures, studio visits, performances and other forms of
intervention. The programme is open to researchers from all three departments.
For more information about the programme, please visit the academy website
(www.janvaneyck.nl), which includes an extensive list of current and past
research projects, activities, events and publications, as well as biographical
information and links of current researchers and advising researchers.
Prospective candidates are also welcome to visit the academy in person.
_____________Support
All researchers in the Fine Art department are given an individual studio and a
stipend (currently 9,360 euro paid in 13 installments). Funding for individual
projects can be applied for on a project-by-project basis.
The academy offers expertise in all media and production areas, in-house or in
cooperation with partner organisations. These areas include photography,
digital and silk-screen printing, video and audio production, computer
applications and other digital technologies, and materials including wood,
metal, ceramics, glass and bronze. The academy encourages publishing through
the Jan van Eyck publication series of artists’ books, monographs, theoretical
and other writings or forms of publishing. Everybody at the Jan van Eyck
Academie can make use of its extensive library.
_____________Applications
Your application is expected to be posted no later than 15 September 2009.
Interviews will take place soon thereafter.
Your application must include your project proposal, documentation material and
an application form. A downloadable application form and more information about
the application procedure can be found at www.janvaneyck.nl (click
