International Space Station Assembly
A Collective Construction Site

The Jan van Eyck Academie is an institute for research and production in the fields of fine art, design and theory, based in Maastricht in the south of The Netherlands. The academy offers individuals and institutes the opportunity to submit research or production proposals. Besides, the Jan van Eyck itself also initiates projects for which artists, designers and theoreticians can apply. In order to realise these projects the academy offers the necessary made-to-measure artistic, technical and auxiliary preconditions and develops contacts with external partners. Since the academy is not led by predetermined leitmotivs, the subject matters of the various research projects of the international artists, designers and theoreticians are heterogeneous. These miscellaneous projects form the basis for several events which are organised each week: lectures, seminars, screenings, exhibitions. External interested parties are welcome to attend these activities. The result is a dynamic and critical exchange between the different agents from within and without the Jan van Eyck.
