Jan van Eyck Academie Post-Academic Institute for Research and Production, Fine Art, Design, TheoryThe 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 this artistic and critical environment. Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to submit proposals for individual or collective research projects for a one-year, two-year or variable research period in the departments of Fine Art, Design and Theory. Deadline for submissions is 15 April 2008.
Application details and form can be accessed at http://www.janvaneyck.nl/_devices/frames_applications.html
The Jan van Eyck researchers are part of a creative community. They are advised by a team of artists, designers and theoreticians who have won their spurs globally. They 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.
The research undertaken at the Jan van Eyck is multidisciplinary. This results in a very heterogeneous programme. The cross-links that are established and the exchange between researchers of different cultural and intellectual backgrounds generate a creative and challenging working environment.
