AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Call for Applications
Maastricht, Netherlands, January 2007

Artists, designers and theoreticians are invited to submit research and production proposals to become a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie, an institute for research and production in the fields of fine art, design and theory. Artists, designers and theoreticians
can submit independently formulated proposals for research and/or production in the Fine Art, Design and Theory department. Candidates can also apply for collective research projects formulated by the institute. In order to realise these projects, the Jan van Eyck offers the necessary made-to-measure artistic, technical and auxiliary preconditions.

Every year, 48 international researchers realise their individual or collective projects in the artistic and challenging environment of the Jan van Eyck Academie. Researchers, departments and the institute organise various weekly activities, to which special speakers are invited: lectures, seminars, workshops, screenings,
exhibitions, discussions, etc. External interested parties are welcome to attend these activities - the result is a dynamic and critical exchange.

Advised by a team of artists, designers and theoreticians, researchers receive their own studio and a scholarship. Candidates can apply for a department or a collective research project. The one- or two-year research period at a department starts in January 2007.
Application deadline is 15 April 2006. More information about the application procedure can be found at
