Application deadline: March 14, 2021
Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens is proud to announce two new funded residencies at the Woning Van Wassenhove, a landmark modernist building designed by the Flemish architect Juliaan Lampens in Sint-Martens-Latem, near Ghent, Belgium. The residency programme at the Woning Van Wassenhove is a partnership between Stichting Mevrouw Jules Dhondt-Dhaenens and the Lampens Estate.
The two residencies will each allow one Europe-based candidate of any nationality to stay in the Woning Van Wassenhove for up to 4 consecutive weeks between September and December 2021. Since the Woning is a single person heritage house, the emphasis is primarily on reflection and research, although production that respects the integrity of the house is possible.
How applicants choose to take advantage of their stay in the Woning Van Wassenhove is open, so long as the occupation of the house, its locality and architectural identity are put to productive use. The resident is expected to organize a public-facing output at the Woning Van Wassenhove or Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, either at the end of their stay or later, showcasing aspects of their practice in relation to the residency.
Applicants can only apply to one of the two residencies:
FABA Artist Residency is aimed at practicing artists in any creative field. Applicants should have taken part in at least 1 solo and 1 group exhibition in public institutions by the time of applying. The FABA Artist Residency jury is composed of Catherine de Zegher (curator and writer), Caroline Dumalin (director, AAIR Antwerp), Gwenvael Launay (FABA Foundation), Laurens Otto (curator, MDD) and Danielle van Zuijlen (artistic coordinator, Kunsthal Gent).
Art & Architecture Residency is aimed at practitioners in any creative discipline whose work is situated at the intersection of art and architecture. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a multi-year commitment to exploring the interface between art and architecture. The Art & Architecture Residency jury is composed of Sofie De Caigny (director, Flanders Architecture Institute, Antwerp), Thomas Lerooy (artist), Laurens Otto (curator, MDD), Jo Van Den Berghe (architect and professor, KU Leuven), Adinda Van Geystelen (artistic director, Z33, Hasselt) and Meruro Washida (director, Towada Art Center).
Applications, preferably in English (French or Dutch allowed) should be sent to residencies@museumdd.be before Sunday March 14, 2021, midnight CET. Please specify in the subject line for which residency you are applying: "FABA Residency" or "Art & Architecture Residency". No applications received past the deadline will be considered. Both residencies include a travel grant and per diem, as well as a budget for the public-facing output. See here for further details.
Funding for the FABA Artist Residency is generously provided by the FABA Foundation.
The Art & Architecture Residency is made possible through the generosity of Axel Vervoordt Gallery and Puilaetco.
