They always leave the fact out that it costs money to apply for this.

Jan van Eyck Academie
Post-Academic Institute for Research and Production
Fine Art, Design, Theory
_____________
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 Jan van Eyck Academie has positions available in the Fine Art
and Design Departments for the next academic year, starting on 1
January 2011. Artists are invited to submit proposals for individual
research projects; designers can apply for one of the projects
formulated by the department.
Application deadline
1 October 2010
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. We welcome 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. Throughout the year
professionals from different fields are invited to set up discursive
events, on formal and informal levels, such as presentations,
lectures, studio visits, performances and other forms of
intervention. The programme is open to researchers from all three
departments.
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.
The Fine Art Department is headed by advising researchers Hans-
Christian Dany, Imogen Stidworthy and Nasrin Tabatabai & Babak
Afrassiabi. Their principal task is to advise the Fine Art
researchers in the development of their work.
DESIGN
Candidate researchers for the Design Department can apply for one of
the following projects:

FORBIDDEN CITY
Various areas close to Maastricht have undergone processes of
economic crisis followed by a restructuring that is usually
characterised by the attempt to attract cultural or ‘creative’
industries.
Strijp-S is an urban development plan that tries to turn the 66-
acres of the former Philips factory in Eindhoven from a 'Forbidden
City' into ‘The Creative City with an unequalled character’.
The project sets out as a visual research into new divisions of
labour, which emerge as soon as heavy industries and mass-production
of consumer goods along the assembly line have been replaced by what
is coined as cognitive, immaterial or affective labour.
Forbidden city calls for designers, urbanists, video- and filmmakers.
Advising researcher: Florian Schneider

*LATENT STARE*
A project exploring the practice, methods and messages of type-
design, *Latent stare* proposes a gathering and study of selected
typefaces and stories, originating from the time of the 1900s
onwards – when technology had accelerated, and begun to affect, the
production and distribution of new types. The binding feature of the
selected material is affiliated to a political, social or spiritual
set of beliefs which feed back into the typefaces creation, design
and/or use. The designer has been held accountable in some way for
their creation. *Latent stare* suggests an investigational approach
to the material, with the thought of re-evaluating ideas surrounding
the designed alphabet; including proposals, rejections and
possibilities.
Advising researcher: David Bennewith

NEUTRALITY_Polity and Space in the Post-Eurocentric City
The investigation researches the modalities and substances that
contemporary practices of neutrality give rise to and contribute in
sustaining. By looking at how international, super-national and
state institutions, together with individual organisations, NGOs and
other polities carve and mould the inhabited spaces of post-
continental EU Europe, Brussels and a number of other non-
Eurocentric European cities, the research programme will aim at
outlining innovative paths towards design agency and creativity. The
research programme analyses forms of transformation and control of
contemporary space: international, local, urban, infrastructural,
humanitarian, political, conflictual, economical, financial,
military, institutional, natural, global, individual.
The research materials will be architectural analysis, maps,
diagrams, charts, interviews, texts, graphics, photographs and films
that will be organised as a complex representations of the
transformation processes of the physical spaces shaped by
international and non-governmental organisations.
Advising researcher: John Palmesino

OPEN VIDEO
HTML5, the next revision of the HyperText Mark-up Language, is
supposed to open a new chapter in web design and web-based
publishing. The support of multimedia content by self-explanatory
video and audio tags will have major impact for developers,
designers and content producers.
Most importantly, it allows the seamless integration of open-source
encoded audio and video content into the native browser environment.
Furthermore, it opens up exciting and yet unforeseeable
possibilities to revaluate and to re-invent the rather peculiar
relationships between text, sound and moving or still image.
The Open Video project will research into past and present open-
source video implementations with the goal to develop an independent
platform that explores the specific potentials of self-authored and
self-managed, open-source video publishing initiatives against the
backdrop of the overwhelming dominance of mass-media like content
providers.
Open video calls for code developers, web designers and digital
content producers.
Advising researcher: Florian Schneider

REMOTE SENSING_Biopolitical Imagery
The research investigates how new remote-sensing technologies – the
design of information gathering and distribution – are shaping and
carving contemporary spaces of operation and sovereignty, and on the
other side it will focus on the agency that these new technologies
elicit and entail. The research will focus on sets of new image-
making and processing technologies and their link to the space of
law, the space of finances and the space of inhabitation. The rise
of new possibilities of measuring and describing the complex systems
that form the Earth and shape human life has unexpected connections
with contemporary reshaping of the notions of sovereignty, exclusive
economic licensing and more in general on notions of inhabitation.
The research will single out a series of contemporary situations and
will trace the complex links and exchanges between the production of
new images through remote sensing and the outline of new legal and
governmental issues.
Remote sensing calls for data visualisation designers, interaction
designers, urbanists, architects, photographers, video and filmmakers.
Advising researchers: John Palmesino and Florian Schneider
+
The Design Department is currently headed by advising researchers
John Palmesino, Florian Schneider and Daniel van der Velden. Their
principal task is to advise the Design researchers in the
development of their work.
Facilities
Researchers can avail themselves of facilities that support their
projects from first concept to public presentation, including the
library, the documentation centre and various workshops. They can
also get assistance with their print work, the editing and
distribution of publications and the publicity of events. All
researchers receive their own studio and a stipend.
Applications
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.
