Jan van Eyck Academie
call for artists, designers and theoreticians

http://janvaneyck.nl/

Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to submit research and
production proposals to become a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie.
The application deadline is 15 April 2009.
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. 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.

Artists, 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.

Programme:
The multi-disciplinary research projects are the basis for the Jan van
Eyck programme. Researchers, departments and the institute organise
various weekly activities, to which special speakers are invited:
lectures, seminars, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, discussions, 

These activities are announced on the website and via email.
The Fine Art department
offers a unique space for experimentation, production, reflection and
debate. Fine Art researchers conduct high-quality research in an
environment that encourages the questioning of the assumptions, forms,
meanings and contexts that are tied in with the practice of making art
today. The fine arts department welcomes artists, individuals and groups,
without stipulating conditions regarding form, content and media.

Design
The Design department focuses on design as research, discourse and
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. While, formerly, the department used to focus on
graphic and communication design, it has since widened its scope to
include spatial, product and service design.

Theory
The Theory department 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/or
intellectual view of the interface of critical theory, philosophy,
aesthetics and psychoanalysis with the visual arts.
