________________CALL FOR APPLICATIONSDeadline: 15 April 2010
Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to submit research and
production proposals to become a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie.
Candidates can either apply with a topic of their own or for a project
formulated by the institute itself. In order to realise these projects, the Jan
van Eyck offers the necessary made-to-measure artistic, technical and auxiliary
preconditions.
The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production in the
fields of fine art, design and theory. Every year, 48 international researchers
realise their individual or collective projects in the artistic and critical
environment that is the Jan van Eyck. In doing so, they are advised by a team
of artists, designers and theoreticians who have won their spurs globally. The
researchers can also avail themselves of facilities that support their projects
from first concept to public presentation. All in all, the Jan van Eyck offers
artists, designers and theoreticians time and space to do research and realise
productions, either about topics of their own choosing or as part of a project
formulated by the institute itself.
Multi-Disciplinary ResearchArtists, designers and theoreticians at the Jan van
Eyck Academie work alongside each other and establish cross-disciplinary
exchange. The academy is not led by predetermined leitmotivs. Artists,
designers and theoreticians can submit independently formulated proposals for
research and/or production in the departments of Fine Art, Design and Theory.
They can also participate in research projects formulated by the departments
(please see http://www.janvaneyck.nl). The research projects, miscellaneous in
nature, make the Jan van Eyck a multi-disciplinary institute. This also shows
in the programme of the institute. Researchers, departments and the institute
organise various weekly activities, to which special speakers are invited:
lectures, seminars, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, discussions, … The Jan
van Eyck community and external interested parties are welcome to attend this
programme. The result is a dynamic and critical exchange between the different
agents from within and outside of the Jan van Eyck.
FacilitiesResearchers are advised by a team of artists, designers and
theoreticians who have won their spurs globally. They receive their own studio
and a stipend. Furthermore, researchers can make use of all kinds of facilities
which support their projects, from first concept to public presentation,
including the library, the documentation centre and various workshops:
materials (wood and other materials); time-based productions; analogue and
digital (online and offline) publishing (including photography and silkscreen).
They can also get assistance with their print work, the editing and
distribution of publications and the publicity of events.
ApplicationsCandidates applying for Fine Art, Design or Theory are asked to
propose an individual research project. They can also indicate their interest
in participating in one of the projects that are offered by the department of
their choice or one of the other departments.The academic year runs from 1
January to 31 December. Research candidates can apply for a one-year or
two-year research period starting annually on 1 January. It is also possible to
apply to do research for a different period and with a different starting date.

Departments
Fine Art The Fine Art department offers a unique space for experimentation,
production, reflection and debate. Researchers conduct their artistic research
in an environment that encourages questioning of the assumptions, forms,
meanings and contexts that are tied to the practice of making art today. The
Fine Art department welcomes artists, individuals and groups, without
stipulating conditions regarding form, content and media. Artistic practice is
supported by a programme of events and sustained conversations organised by the
researchers and advising researchers, according to their interests.
Advising researchers:Hans-Christian Dany, Imogen Stidworthy, Nasrin Tabatabai &
Babak Afrassiabi
Design The Design department focuses on design as research, design as discourse
and design as publishing. It initiates and supports research projects in the
areas of cultural and corporate identity, mapping, print and new media
publishing, urban and regional identity, and book design. The department
expressly solicits individual designers to propose and carry out their own
research in exchange with the institute’s array of events and presentations.
Whereas the department formerly focused on graphic and communication design, it
has widened its scope to include spatial, product and service design.
Advising Researchers:John Palmesino, Florian Schneider, Daniel van der Velden
Theory The Theory department at the Jan van Eyck Academie is an international
platform for reflection and research. Its mission is to create the opportunity
for outstanding researchers to explore alternative ways of shaping their
intellectual horizons by providing a stimulating environment for critical
inquiry and intense debate. The Theory department welcomes applications from
researchers of unusual promise who pursue their artistic and intellectual view
of the interface of critical theory, philosophy, aesthetics, psychoanalysis and
the visual arts. Candidates can associate with one of the research projects of
the department. Applications not or only indirectly related to the research
projects will be considered on equal terms.
Advising researchers:Katja Diefenbach, Mladen Dolar, Dominiek Hoens
