Jan van Eyck Academie
Post-academic Institute for Research and Production
Fine Art, Design, Theory

_____________
Call for applications
Deadline: 15 April 2008

Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to submit research and 
production proposals to become a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie. 

___________
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. 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,… 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 
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.

Departments
___________

Fine Art
The Fine Art department offers a unique space for experimentation, 
production, reflection and debate. The researchers in the department 
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. We welcome artists, individuals 
and groups, without stipulating conditions regarding form, content and 
media. 
Advising researchers: Babak Afrassiabi & Nasrin Tabatabai, Orla Barry, 
Aglaia Konrad, Glen Rubsamen, Hinrich Sachs, Imogen Stidworthy

Design department
The Design department initiates and supports research projects in the 
areas of public space, urban research; alternative web practices; cultural 
and corporate identity; print, books, studio production; design, political 
engagement and populist politics. Coming from a focus on graphic and 
communication design, the department is widening its scope to include 
spatial, product and service design.
Advising researchers: Wim Cuyvers, Daniël van der Velden

Theory department
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 vision on the interface of critical theory, philosophy, 
aesthetics and psychoanalysis with the visual arts.
Advising researchers: Katja Diefenbach, Hanneke Grootenboer, Dominiek 
Hoens
