>_____________
>Call for applications
>Deadline: Friday 13 April 2007
>
>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.
>
>___________
>Profile
>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 challenging environment that is the Jan
>van Eyck. The institute is not led by predetermined leitmotivs.
>Artists, designers and theoreticians can submit independently
>formulated proposals for research and/or production in the Fine Art,
>Design and Theory department or candidates can apply for collective
>research projects formulated by the Jan van Eyck (see below). The
>miscellaneous nature of these research projects and productions makes
>the Jan van Eyck into 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 … External interested parties are welcome to attend these
>activities. The result is a dynamic and critical exchange between the
>different agents from within and outside of the Jan van Eyck.
>
>Facilities
>Researchers 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: the library, the documentation centre and various
>workshops (wood and other materials; graphic productions and
>photography; digital text & image processing and editing; time-based
>media). They can also get assistance with their print work, the editing
>and distribution of publications and the publicity of events.
>
>Application
>Candidates can apply to a department or a collective research project
>(see below). 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.
>More information about the application procedure can be found at
>http://www.janvaneyck.nl/_devices/frames_applications.html
>
>Contact
>For practical questions concerning the application procedure or to
>request an information brochure, please contact Leon Westenberg
>(leon.westenberg la janvaneyck.nl).
>For content-related questions on the Jan van Eyck Academie in general,
>its departments or on the collective research projects, please contact
>Kim Thehu (kim.thehu la janvaneyck.nl).

>___________
>Departments
>___________
>
>Fine Art department
>The Fine Art department encourages both personal and discursive
>exchange amongst its researchers. It thus wants to establish a context
>of practice-oriented discussion - a context that considers
>issue-orientation alongside other artistic approaches, as well as being
>driven by processing, producing, organizing and going public.
>Advising researchers: Orla Barry, Aglaia Konrad, Hinrich Sachs, Imogen
>Stidworthy
>More information:
>http://janvaneyck.nl/4_0_departments/fineart_statement.html
>
>Design department
>The Design department focuses on design as research, design as
>discourse, 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. While the department formerly focused mainly on graphic and
>communication design, it has been widening its scope to include
>spatial, product and service design.
>Advising researchers: Wim Cuyvers, Will Holder, Daniël van der Velden
>More information:
>http://janvaneyck.nl/4_0_departments/design_statement.html
>
>Theory department
>The Theory department offers a stimulating environment for critical
>inquiry and intense debate to explore alternative ways of shaping
>intellectual horizons. The department welcomes researchers who pursue
>their artistic and/or intellectual vision anywhere on the interface of
>critical theory, philosophy, aesthetics and psychoanalysis with the
>visual arts.
>Advising researchers: Norman Bryson, Katja Diefenbach, Hanneke
>Grootenboer, Dominiek Hoens

>Collective research projects

>
>Logo Parc. Challenging the aesthetics of economy
>Logo Parc is a design research project for public space. Its main focus
>of interest is the Zuidas (South Axis) in Amsterdam: a prestigious area
>of high-rise office blocks, residential and cultural facilities on both
>sides of the A10 motorway. The Zuidas is considered a new typology of
>the city, dedicated to the symbolic representation of economy,
>information, knowledge and mobility. Logo Parc is driven by a critical
>interest in the representation of power and economy – both to
>deconstruct it, and to create it. As a machine for comments, ideas and
>visions for the Zuidas, the project aims to fuel discussion as well as
>trigger actual design issues, operating freely in an area in-between
>architectural, spatial and communication design.
>Logo Parc is a joint project of Jan van Eyck Academie, Lectoraat Kunst
>en Publieke Ruimte, Gerrit Rietveld Academy / Amsterdam University and
>Premsela Dutch Design Foundation.
>Advising researcher: Daniël van der Velden
>More information: http://logoparc.janvaneyck.nl/

>Tomorrow book studio
>The project Tomorrow book studio aims at carrying out research into the
>future of the book, taking a multi-disciplinary approach. At the same
>time, the project concerns itself with commission-based book design
>where research can be directly tested and applied in practice.
>Convinced that the book will never cease to exist, the Tomorrow book
>studio focuses on the specific qualities of the book as a medium. After
>all, the book has a physical reality which is part of a complex and
>process-like entity, involving acts such as conceptualizing, making,
>distributing, reading, using, reusing and keeping.
>The Tomorrow book studio is a joint research project of the Jan van
>Eyck Academie and the Charles Nypels Foundation.
>Advising researcher: Will Holder

>Traces of autism. Wander-research in the Euregion Meuse-Rhine
>This research project concerns the search for public space in the
>Euregion Meuse-Rhine. ‘Walks’ (on foot, by bike, car, bus, train)
>through the region are essential part of the research. These walks and
>the ensuing inventories are determined by strict ‘protocols’: for
>instance, during the research, the inner borders of the Euregion
>function as a reference line and a kind of reading axis. As was evident
> >from earlier research, the vulnerable (gypsies, refugees, migrants,
>drug addicts…) can function as indicators. Another indicator is
>provided by the patterns which appear after observation of the
>opposite: leisure activities that assail public space. Maps are
>constantly used and developed, but the project is not at all about
>cognitive mapping. During the entire research period, the French
>pedagogue Fernand Deligny (1913-1996) is considered a supporter,
>someone who walks in the footsteps of the researchers, as he did for
>thirty years: following autistic patients, without intervention, only
>registering, not even wanting to ‘learn’ anything.
>Advising researcher: Wim Cuyvers
>More information: http://tracesofautism.janvaneyck.nl

>After 1968. What is the political?
>The project After 1968 debates the notion of the political in
>Post-Marxist theory, reflecting how an entire wave of minoritarian
>militancy, which emerged during the 60s and 70s, has failed and led to
>a controversy about the mode of political struggle. In
>Post-Structuralism, Deconstruction, Feminism and Marxism, this
>theoretical conflict is shaped along the following lines: Butler's
>Levinasian ethics of the vulnerability and passivity of a precarious
>life-form; Badiou’s event of truth; Derrida's messianic expectation of
>an event which evades any expectation; Zizek’s idea of a neo-Leninist
>decision; Agamben's notion of a potentiality that is in any relation to
>the act; the  concept of an empty universality in hegemony theory; the
>post-operaist ontological belief in the autonomy of the multitude and a
>coming communism of creative doing; Rancière's suggestion that the
>political conflict resides in the tension between the structured social
>body and the part with no-part, etc. After 1968 negotiates these
>enormous differences concerning the question of a constituent moment or
>an ontological founding of the political, of its organisational form,
>of activity and passivity, doing and event.
>Advising researcher: Katja Diefenbach

>Circle for Lacanian ideology Critique
>The Jan van Eyck Circle for Lacanian Ideology Critique (CLiC) gathers
>researchers who are interested in Lacanian theory and consider it an
>open set of tools for critically considering contemporary (post-)
>modern culture. CLiC intends to activate the psychoanalytical – and
>especially Lacanian – background of many current philosophers and
>critics, such as Agamben, Badiou, Jameson, Laclau, Mouffe, Negri,
>Derrida, Nancy, Rancière, Žižek and Zupancic. Insight into the Lacanian
>background of these theories is indispensable in order to discover the
>very core of their critical potentialities, which is why a
>confrontation with and a reading of the Lacanian text is one of CLiC’s
>objectives.
>Advising researcher: Dominiek Hoens
>More information: http://clic.janvaneyck.nl

>The pensive image
>The pensive image is a research project on thinking images. This
>project studies the extent to which images (painting, photography,
>cinema etc.) are able to philosophize on the status of their own
>representation, and on the nature of vision. The project is based on
>the hypothesis that monocular models of vision such as perspective and
>the camera have shaped our binocular perception of the world. Following
>Hubert Damisch and Roland Barthes, among others, The pensive image aims
>at formulating a theory as to how images ‘think’ about vision through a
>study of images that ‘look back’ at us, viewers.
>Advising researcher: Hanneke Grootenboer
