Full Funded Residency and Travel Opportunity for Artists in Belgium from FIACC 2019

FLACC provides practical, material and financial assistance through extended collaborations with artists. Every year, FLACC facilitates the realization of 10 to 12 artists' projects in Genk, in tune with the contemporary context of art making. The process-based projects are developed independently of any need for presentation and are in most cases aimed at the realization of new work, reflection or experiment. Core concepts here are equality, cooperation, and space for experimentation.

Eligibility:

Visual artists working in a variety of media and disciplines are invited to submit project proposals along the lines set out below.

The call is open for all visual artists. Due to the diversity of our workshops, the application is open for projects in various media and disciplines. Projects with interest in artistic labor, challenging the notion of a 'workplace' or with a focus on the experiment are preferable. The work period is three-month full time or around 90 days, divided into several smaller work periods between February 2020 and December 2020. FLACC offers accommodation, a workplace, covered travel expenses as well as a small production budget.

About the Project:

FLACC introduces renowned and promising foreign artists into the Belgian artistic landscape. But young talent and experienced Belgian artists are also supported, even across borders. Crucial elements in the FLACC workplace projects are theoretical research, input from experts, practical feasibility, and an output in relation with the studio labor, for example by contributing to the art discourse, a publication or a presentation. FLACC provides practical, material and financial assistance through extended collaborations with artists. The selected artists can, in this way, count on an extensive level of long term support. They can fully concentrate on their projects, whose process-driven realization, worked out in collaboration with FLACC, is often just as important as the physical result itself. FLACC suggests that this realization is sometimes even secondary to the deployment of activities which can aid the artistic development of the artist, such as theoretical deepening, experimentation and networking. Projects that strengthen the development of the artist, engage in reflection or manifest an experimental character are preferred over projects in which the realization of one or more works are central.
