>>
>> The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production
>> in the fields of Fine Art, Design and Theory, based in Maastricht, in
>> the south of the Netherlands. The academy invites artists, designers
>> and theoreticians to submit research or production proposals. In
>> order to realise these projects, the academy offers the necessary
>> made-to-measure artistic, technical and auxiliary preconditions and
>> develops contacts with external partners.
>>
>> Research, production, presentation, discussion
>> The Jan van Eyck Academie offers space and time to let go of
>> predetermined processes and to explore new inroads which may lead to
>> unexpected results: unconventional productions, such as temporary
>> projects in the public arena, fictional designs or speculative
>> thought experiments. This experimental attitude towards research and
>> production implies that the academy is not led by predetermined
>> leitmotivs. The subject matters of the various research projects of
>> its international artists, designers and theoreticians are
>> heterogeneous (see examples below).
>> These miscellaneous projects form the basis for several events which
>> are organized each week: presentations, discussions, lectures,
>> seminars, screenings, exhibitions,Š 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
>> Artists, designers and theoreticians who submitted a project proposal
>> and were subsequently selected become researchers at the Jan van
>> Eyck. In order to realise their projects researchers have their own
>> studios, receive a grant and can make use of the facilities: 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). They
>> can also appeal to the institute for pr assistance relating to their
>> projects or for the distribution of their productions.
>> The researchers can furthermore call upon the support of artistic
>> advisors: the advising researchers. The following advising
>> researchers are active in the Jan van Eyck Academie: Orla Barry,
>> Norman Bryson, Sabeth Buchmann, Wim Cuyvers, Helmut Draxler, Stephan
>> Geene, Marc De Kesel, Jouke Kleerebezem, Aglaia Konrad, Eva Meyer,
>> John Murphy, Hinrich Sachs, Filiep Tacq, Daniël van der Velden and
>> Annelys de Vet.
>>
>> Application
>> Artists, designers and theoreticians who wish to apply for a one or
>> two year research period, starting in January 2006, can send in their
>> research proposal before 15 April 2005. See for application details
>> www.janvaneyck.nl.

>> metropolis.
>> -	Jonathan Dronsfield (GB) - How, if at all, has contemporary
>> art taken an 'ethical turn'? What is at stake when contemporary
>> artists, theoreticians and curators appeal to the ethical as a
>> justification or rationale or premise or aim of their work?
