APPLY AT HISK-FLANDERS - GHENT, BELGIUM

Laureateships / Applications for candidates 2008-2009
Deadline submission: September 7, 2007

Mission statement

The Higher Institute of Fine Arts (HISK) organises the postgraduate
education in Flanders in the field of the visual arts. It provides some
thirty young artists from Belgium and abroad with a studio of their own,
for a duration of two years.

At the HISK the emphasis lies mainly on individual practise, with an
international focus. The visiting lecturers are crucial. Artists,
curators, critics and theoreticians pay individual studio visits at
regular intervals. There are also frequent visits to significant art
events, and readings, master classes, seminars and workshops are
organised. Thanks to the unique HISK concept the participants are given
every opportunity to seriously invest in the critical research of their
work, and to situate it within a broader artistic, cultural and societal
context.

At the end of the two-year working period, the participant receives the
certificate of 'Laureate of the HISK'.

The HISK is officially recognized as Higher Institute and is financed by
the Flemish Community  Ministry of Education.

>From April 2007 onwards the HISK is housed in the Leopold Barracks in
Ghent.  Spread over various buildings, it disposes over 30 studios
(varying between 40 and 80 m2), a multi-media lab, workshops for, among
other things, wood and metal work, an exhibition space, administrative
spaces, a conference room, a library and various facilities (such as a
kitchen, cafeteria, internet-corner) for the candidate-laureates.

The HISK is located at the edge of the Citadel Park, at walking distance
from Ghent main station (Sint-Pieters Station) and the city centre. It is
moreover located at a central point in the City of Ghent's so-called
cultural kilometer. Immediate neighbours are the SMAK (the Municipal
Museum of Contemporary Art), the Museum of Fine Arts, Sint Pietersabdij
Kunsthal (the Saint Peter's Abbey Art-hall), the City Museum (STAM), the
Faculty of Arts and Philosophy of Ghent University and the Department of
Fine Arts of University College Ghent.

As a city of knowledge and culture, Ghent is one of the most lively
student cities in Flanders which has a fascinating cultural and artistic
climate. See http://www.gent.be

Applications

The HISK does not impose strict demands on previous education, yet it does
focus on a candidate's level of development. The application is based on
submitted work from past years and on the basis of an interview about the
motivations for the artistic project, which the participant wishes to
undertake during his/her study.

In the assessment of the submitted works by the artists concerned, their
conceptual and visual qualities are paramount; not style, material or
technique.

Considering the HISK's aims, the participants are, besides their own
practice, expected to have a strong commitment to conducting critical
research in their own field of interest, in relation to the broader
perspective of social and cultural elements.

Moreover a contribution to the activities of the HISK as a whole is
expected. Interaction is an important feeding ground. The work period
culminates in a public presentation of the candidates' work after which a
certificate of Laureateship is awarded.

The working year begins annually in early January.

1. Information:
