> 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,… 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
