Description

Future Materials at the Jan van Eyck Academie aims to support environmentally conscious art and design practices by conducting research and disseminating knowledge on sustainable non-toxic materials. The long-term programme promotes sustainable alternatives to fossil-based or toxic materials commonly used in arts and design with the aim of fostering ecologically mindful approaches in these creative fields.

Working among a cohort of some 35 artists, designers, curators, writers, and other creative minds will provide the two Research Fellows with insights into the daily complexities of the transition towards sustainable materials, as well as the opportunity to exchange with and learn from a multitude of practices around the world.

Description

We are looking to commission an artist to be part of our Abundance programme through an exploration of cloth as an artistic material for connection and identity. The residency will span the neighbourhoods, people, and green spaces we work with across Blackpool.

This commission builds on conversations with project partners and residents through our current programme. We have identified cloth as an important material, it forms part of our domestic life through our homes and clothes, it links us to nature through plants for dyes and printing, and it has exciting potential for artistic investigation. We want to explore cloth through a permaculture lens, noticing and exploring patterns in the land and people.

Description

As part of the Regional Agreement for the Expansion of Arts and Cultural Education signed with the DRAC Occitanie, the Causses et Vallée de la Dordogne Community of Municipalities (Cauvaldor) is issuing a call for applications for a local artist-in-residence program for a visual artist (starting in fall 2026) in connection with the Résurgence festival.

The theme chosen for this residency is “Sorcière Paysanne / Bruèissa Païsana” (a bilingual French-Occitan title), inspired by the figure of Marie Espalieu, a farmer and visual artist from the Lot region, born in 1923, whose practice of art brut was shaped by her work as a farmer.

In 2028, the 11th edition of the Résurgence festival will position the artist as a central figure in practices that celebrate craftsmanship and traditional skills, while examining the role of women, both in the past and today.
