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, various workshops (wood and other
materials; graphic techniques; photography; digital text and image
processing and editing; time-based media) and the production bureau
(assistance with print work, editing and all other productions, pr and
distribution).
Application
Candidates can apply for a department or a collective research project as
listed below. The one- or two-year research period at a department starts
in January 2007. The start and duration of research periods of collective
projects differ.

Departments
___________
Fine Art department
The Fine Art department encourages both personal and discursive exchange
amongst its researchers in order 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, John Murphy, Hinrich Sachs

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. 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, Will Holder, Jouke Kleerebezem, Filiep
Tacq, Daniël van der Velden

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, Sabeth Buchmann, Helmut Draxler,
Stephan Geene, Hanneke Grootenboer, Marc De Kesel

Collective research projects

Traces of autism. Wander-research in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine
This research project concerns the making of an inventory of public space
in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine, based on journeys made through the area and
following a number of strict parameters. During the research the inner
borders of the Euregio will function as a reference line and a kind of
reading axis. Gypsies, refugees, migrants, drug addicts can possibly
function as indicators, although other indicators may come to the fore in
the Euregio. The emphasis will be on maps: on the one hand, existing maps
will be collected, on the other, new maps will be developed. During the
entire research period, the French pedagogue Fernand Deligny (1913-1996)
will be 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

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 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

The tomorrow book
The research project The tomorrow book intends to query the future of the
book from a multi-disciplinary standpoint. In doing so, the following
aspects will be treated: editing, typography, book design, publishing and
distribution. Convinced of the fact that the book will never cease to
exist, The tomorrow book focuses on the specific qualities of the book as
a medium. The umbrella theme of the project The tomorrow book is
navigation to, within and beyond the book.
The tomorrow book is a joint research project of the Jan van Eyck Academie
and the Charles Nypels Foundation.
Advising researchers: Will Holder, Filiep Tacq

UbiScribe
The research project and on-line publication platform UbiScribe researches
into the explosive development of many forms of multi-medial and
multi-disciplinary chronicles such as weblogs, blogs, vlogs and photologs.
It focuses on new modes of authoring and of on-line and off-line
publishing, in which networked information and communication support the
conception, production and distribution of original publishing formats in
whatever media. Apart from stimulating research on personal(ised)
publishing (hardware, software and content), UbiScribe investigates
so-called content management systems and how they are applied in
artistic production.
Advising researcher: Jouke Kleerebezem

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, W.J.T.
Mitchell, 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

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 that enable researchers to critically consider 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, iek and Zupancic. Insight into the Lacanian background of
these theories is indispensable 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 CLiCs main objectives.

Citygraphy. 19th century and 21st century topographic photography in
Maastricht
Citygraphy examines the role of 19th century photography in the
consciousness and perception of the European city as a historic focal
point a fulcrum subject to the powers of modernization. Contrasts
between urban centres and expanding suburbs, between handicraft and
industrial production, between transport by water and over land, between
conservation and redevelopment, between restoration as both a form of
protection and of rebuilding, between the interests of residents and those
of visitors all determine the overall politics of life. What role did the
visual image play in all of this, and in particular, what was the role of
photography?
The research project Citygraphy is a commission for a
photographer/researcher. The commission concerns the development of a
personal photographic vision of 21st century Maastricht, taking the 19th
century city images of Maastricht as a starting point.
Citygraphy is a joint project of the Jan van Eyck Academie and Hogeschool
St. Lukas Brussel and is subsidized by Stichting Werner Mantz.
Artistic coordinator: Dirk Lauwaert
