In collaboration with System Earth Science (SES), Maastricht University, and in the framework of the European cooperation project Institution(ing)s, the Jan van Eyck Academie is accepting applications for 1 Food Lab Fellowship in 2027. The residency is for artistic practitioners whose creative work critically explores global food systems and the communal histories around food, who reflect on the journeys of food across cultures, borders, and histories, bringing situated and innovative knowledge and practices to the fore. The selected Fellow will have the opportunity to undertake a residency from 15 January to 15 December 2027, engaging with a vibrant community of some 36-40 artists, designers, curators, writers, and other creative minds, sharing perspectives on the complexities of a world in transition and contributing to transformative understandings of food, culture, and ecology. The Fellowship can only host individual candidates. The Fellow is expected to reside in Maastricht or direct surroundings (within a radius of 10km) during their stay at the Jan van Eyck.
The selected candidate will receive access to a private studio and the expertise of the Labs, in-house experts, and (guest) advisers and will be able to participate and contribute to the academy’s public programme. The Fellow will receive a monthly stipend of €1,750 and a working budget of €2,250. The stipend is 80% exempt from income tax. Maastricht University will cover local transport costs to and from Venlo, up to €750. The Fellow will search for their own accommodation; the institute can provide guidance. The Fellow is exempt from paying an annual enrolment fee.
The application fee amounts to €50.
