Application deadline: April 1, 2010 This residency will encourage participants to work, live, play, and think collaboratively and is based on the view that experimentation should not simply be confined to the safe space of art practice but can also change our social relations. The main focus of activity will be to open up the idea of what research can be, approaching it as a performative act in itself. 12 The distance between our minds and thoughts equals the distance between our words and mouths with Jan Verwoert

European Ceramic Workcentre Netherlands
The European Ceramic Workcentre in the Netherlands offers opportunities for artists, designers and architects to explore the technical and artistic possibilities of ceramics. Applications are being accepted for their 2010 residency program.
As an artist-in-residence centre, the .ekwc annually welcomes about 44 artists, designers an architects to experiment with ceramics for a continuous or phased period of three months.
The .ekwc does not only offer studios, workplaces, the most advanced equipment and living space, but also the support of a team of specialists. This team gives a unique added value to the residency as 75% of the participants have no or little experience with ceramics. Intensive guidance allows the participants to realize their prearranged work plans.
The residency is concluded with a final presentation.
Visual artists, performance artists, musicians, composers, critics, curators, arts administrators, designers and writers are invited to apply to the Residency Program. The program has been designed to provide work space, accommodation and meals in a retreat environment where participants can work independently on their own project(s) for a time period of one to five weeks depending on availability (not all consecutive). The program also features an invited artist in residence whenever possible. The artist in residence is invited to work independently and is not required to provide formal instruction to residency participants. The opportunity will be available for creative interaction during social and serendipitous occasions (see Invited Artists In Residence). The Residency Program is offered in July, August and September (see 2010 schedule). MORE INFO >>
