Everywhere being nowhere, / who can prove / one place more than another? — Seamus Heaney

Drawing up an annual report means taking stock, listing the activities that took place and the productions that were made and recording the intellectual, practical and creative developments of the (advising) researchers. On a more abstract level, a report of this kind refl ects the competences, creative intelligence and mindscapes of the people involved. It indirectly hints at the sheer pleasure that engaging in artistic and intellectual work generates. What, then, are the assets of the Jan van Eyck Academie? Thumbing through the pages of this report, it immediately becomes clear that the Jan van Eyck is a space of questioning: the people who make up the academy take a critical and questioning stance and aspire to innovative cultural and visual production – be it in Fine Art, Design or Theory. They perceive, study, query, debate, negotiate, interact, experience, innovate, improvise, determine and create. They collaborate and forge alliances, explore constructions and their consequences and forge, test and drop or adopt concepts. The projects and productions – collective as well as individual – at the Jan van Eyck, diverse and heterogeneous as they are, cannot be ‘captured’ in a short introduction. Whether this annual report is read top-down, bottom-up or in a linear way, its content reveals a whole range of levels. The projects, it is fair to claim, are relational in nature, and the activities and the spatial, material and immaterial confi gurations and their unfolding in time contain many layers. How are these to be presented? There is no singular way of doing this, as there is no ‘right’ way of setting up projects and carrying out research. The projects that are described and expanded on in 16 … the Portfolio – such as Authoring the city, CLiC, Micropolis, Trichtlinnburg, Visualizing the visual, the list is all but exhaus- tive – explore the acts of perception, experience and creation through different media of reproduction such as photography, fi lm, music, recorded sound, graphics, drawings and performance. These acts contain several experiential dimensions and layers. Their results shape collective and individual imaginaries, but they are also transformable, at times transi- tory. Cautiously avoiding simplifi cation, the research project Authoring the city, for instance, can be said to consider the city a multiplayer arena and explores the social, historic and technological aspects of urban communication. (Advising) researchers involved in this project design and apply strategies, collect and process data, undertake walks, design alternative maps or make a subjective atlas that helps construct new narratives. In a nutshell, the Trichtlinnburg project has set up urban conversation, studies urban etiquette and intends to organise an event in public space. The Micropolis project concerns itself with the communication of a city’s cultural identity and the Metahaven: Sealand identity project is involved in identity encryption and graphic design in contemporary network societies. The tomorrow book and UbiScribe explore different aspects of publishing: the former project starts off from the traditional book and how it can be navigated, the latter focuses on on-line and off-line publishing and multi-media chronicles. The project Publications and resonances takes stock of the artists’ books that were made at the Jan van Eyck over the past 25 years. The members of CLiC delve into love’s ambiguous nature. These projects deal with ambiguities, transi- toriness and structures of repetition, with erasures, losses and heterotopia, with recording, retelling, reciting and ‘re-citing’. They are not just about providing answers, but about articulating new problems and issues as well. introduction 17

The Jan van Eyck Academie is a network of many intellectual and artistic routes that generate ramiﬁ ed, multiple destinations and conclusions through memory, imagination, creation, recreation, mapping, re-routing, interweaving. Activities and research bring into effect a sense of expansion and transgression and show the lateral, dynamic and less than dogmatic ways of working that are often adopted by the institute – the sum of its people. This report does not only state the obvious and directly visible; it also takes into account ‘the realm of the beyond’. The sheer volume of projects and activities may be daunting at ﬁ rst contact, but closer analysis will show that, despite the fact that there are many birds of different feathers, things at the Jan van Eyck are ‘harmoni- ously confused’. 18 … … 19

PORTFOLIO 2004 20

The following Portfolio is an enumeration of projects that made up the weekly programme or that were dealt with in the Editorial Board. It is a range of individual projects of researchers, collective research projects, institutional and departmental projects as well as lectures, presentations and workshops given by externals. This Portfolio does not strive to provide a complete overview of all projects and productions realised at the Jan van Eyck. Smaller-scale projects have not been included, although they are not deemed less important. research projects 21

AUTHORING THE CITY www.janvaneyck.nl/authoringthecity In collaboration with the Charles Nypels Foundation the research project Authoring the city was set up in 2002. For this project the researchers Min Choi, Zuzana Lapitková, Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson were recruited. In 2004 the organization of Authoring the city changed. It became an ‘umbrella’ project that contains various related individual (Mapping conspiratorial spaces, Third way urbanism, etc.) and collective research projects (Micropolis, Trichtlinnburg, etc.) at the Jan van Eyck Academie. The project’s theme is the city as a means of communication and communication platform. The research concerns itself with long-term urban communication that manifests itself through architectural and urban interventions. It also studies short-term communication via non-ofﬁ cial and informal media such as ﬂ yers, posters, billboards, festivals, art in public space and guided tours. The project Authoring the city is multidisciplinary; the main focus of the research – historical, sociological and political in nature – is to design means of communication. In 2004 thematical colloquia were organised that presented the various Jan van Eyck projects . External speakers were invited.

My city as a multi-player arena On 11 January the opening of the (academic) year 2004 was heralded. Hinrich Sachs (advising researcher Fine Art department) moderated a round-table concerning Authoring the city. Referents were Peter Fransman (director Academie Beeldende Kunsten Maastricht), Alexander van Grevenstein (director Bonnefantenmuseum), Janet Cardiff (artist) and Solvita Krese (director Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art, LV). 22 …

Authoring the city, 24 – hour meeting On 16 September the fi rst 24-hour meeting Authoring the city was held, at which presentations were given, research trajec- tories drawn, the project’s state of affairs discussed and research results presented. Collective projects on the city and urban space – Meta haven: Sealand identity project, Micropolis, Trichtlinnburg, 19th century photography and the television work of Jef Cornelis – were elaborated on. Authoring the city? | Patrick Healy Patrick Healy (philosopher, sociologist, Faculty of Architec- ture Technical University Delft, NL) gave the keynote lecture, in which he talked about the understanding of the city at present in the light of new urbanism that examines the city as an entity. He presented a systematic analysis of the contemporary theories on new urbanism. How open is a city? What are its spaces of recognition? What are the ways of mobility? How does a city get named? How do we talk about cities nowadays? Comparing the city | Annelys de Vet Annelys de Vet (advising researcher Design department) edited Comparing the city, a collection of stories and observations by city dwellers – (advising) researchers at the Jan van Eyck – who acted both as spectators and as narrators. They traced the meeting and dividing lines of the city of Maastricht and the cities of Seoul, Houston, New York, Warsaw, Bratislava, Basel, Amsterdam, Ghent and Brussels. Taste and values of society | Zuzana Lapitková Zuzana Lapitková closely studies public events organised in Maastricht that are designed as pieces of art and combine different methods in order to convey an impression of complexity. She examines these events as communication devices that refl ect the changes in taste and values of the Maastricht society, as tools to spread ideas and trigger … 23 dialogue. The theoretical research serves as a background for the design and realisation of the ideal public festivity for the city. The authorship of representation | Kasper Andreasen Kasper Andreasen’s (researcher Design department) presentation dealt with authorship and representation and used maps, books and printed ephemera on the notion of place – literary and visual examples of walking the city, derivatives, chronologies and everyday objects that illustrate locality. The subversive core of urban communication management | BAVO Urban communication management has become the dominant ideological discourse with regard to planning interventions in the city. Politicians and investors have become proponents of the most progressive pro- and interactive communication tactics. At present the entire urban fi eld is considered as possessing communicative value: every sub- culture communicates its own specifi c needs and desires to other key partners in the planning process. Within this new paradigm of cross-political and neo-liberal urban communication management, progressive artists and designers are forced to give the communication discourse a twist. BAVO (Gideon Boie and Matthias Pauwels) elaborated on three alternative strategies: the ‘blind spot’, the enclave and the event. These strategies are used to counter the nor- malising effects of dominant communication management by emphasising the ‘unrepresentable’ status of subcultures – prostitutes, illegal refugees and gypsies – that operate at the threshold of communicability. BAVO developed an im- manent critique of these strategies and discovered their subversive core, thus giving urban discourse another ‘turn of the screw’. 24 …

Paris – public space – dead-end streets | Wim Cuyvers Wim Cuyvers (advising researcher Design department) presented the results of his reading of public space in the city of Paris through an inventory of the archetypical urban element of its dead-end streets. During ten days and ten nights, he undertook non-tourist walks through the streets of the world’s most touristy city, walking from one dead-end street to the next. Part of the research was conducted by using open Internet forums. 12 tongues | Annette Stahmer Annette Stahmer (researcher Design department 2002– 2003) created a ‘virtual speech ballet’, in which twelve people were ‘speaking in tongues’: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Faciality & diagram | Laurent Liefooghe Laurent Liefooghe’s (researcher Theory department) research addresses two related questions. He wonders whether it is possible, in a contemporary post-structuralist context, to conceive a form of political architecture and to reinvent a concept of monumentality that would not be based on a representational model. He looks into the issue of conceiv- ing a face or an image for a political construction such as the European Union without using the logics of identity production, that is to say, without destroying the non-facial qualities that distinguish it from a nation state: a greater openness and complexity and a greater capacity to deal with difference. Liefooghe develops ‘monumental’ and ‘facial’ strategies to test them in the actual environment of European neighbourhood. Trichtlinnburg | Hinrich Sachs Starting from the urban and political reality of the city of … 25

Maastricht, differences between cultural productions commissioned by city authorities and cultural productions initiated by artists and authors were analysed. The formats of going public and talking in public were considered and a proposal for an exhibition event was presented. Weather stations | Tamara Maletic & Dan Michaelson Tamara Maletic and Dan Michaelson design weather stations for the urban environment, registering and making manifest local conditions such as pedestrian movements, infrastructural changes and wind conditions. They use street furniture that is connected to networks to sample the data. Their research is directed towards the creation of a new, embedded layer of the city, which expresses the city’s in/visible ﬂ ows. A related goal is to develop economical means for network-based or real-time typographic systems in the public sphere. Cryptographic spaces and haunted places | Min Choi Min Choi investigated the typography of the urban uncanny and its role in terms of dealing with anxiety, suspicion, and insecurity. The research aimed to construct a convincing ‘conspiracy theory’ regarding the uncanny locales in and around Maastricht, by means of writing and design.

On safety and informality On safety and informality presented a series of lectures on 24 and 25 November. When public spaces are discussed, issues of (in)security and a sense of fear prevail. Not only politicians are interested in these issues, they concern designers and artists as well. In the lectures artists, designers and theoreticians considered the concept of security in an urban environment; artists intervened in public space 26 … and strategies were presented to achieve and/or pervert feelings of (in)security. Monitoring the Dordtselaan for maximum peace of mind | Iratxe Jaio & Klaas van Gorkum For a whole year van Klaas van Gorkum (artist, NL) and Iratxe Jaio (researcher Fine Art department) recorded daily life in the Dordtselaan, the street where they have lived for some time and one of the so-called ‘hot spots’ of Rotterdam. They screened and discussed their fi lm about a street in a society where the perception of safety is linked to degrees of control. Uncanny spaces along the motorway | Wim Cuyvers Quite a number of rest stops along Belgian motorways function as informal meeting places for homosexual and bisexu- al males. Close observation shows that a number of spatial characteristics recur time and again; they serve as parameters for these places. In his presentation and in his book, made in collaboration with Marc De Blieck (artist, BE), Wim Cuyvers re-addressed the question why he, as a ‘non- user’, observed these places. Apart from offering keys that allow us to read and understand places of this kind, Cuyvers also explained how to read and understand the book itself. This is not a love letter | Binna Choi The fl yer project This is Not a Love Letter, curated by Binna Choi (KR), is an initiative that attempts to answer the question: How can we manifest and ‘author’ ourselves in a visual environment that is exuberant, authoritative and highly commercial in nature? Eight visual artists and designers each created a fl yer design by using different visual rhetoric. The fl yers were randomly inserted into dailies in Seoul. Like love letters, the fl yers were sent carefully and secretly – with the hope of generating interaction and encounters. … 27

The editorial policy of the Open issue on (in)security | Jorinde Seijdel The demand for protection and control in today’s society is ever-increasing. However, society lacks insight into the nature and origin of its underlying fears. Issue No. 6 of Open magazine published articles that examine the consequences of the current preoccupation with security for public space and the visual arts. Art, architecture, philosophy and politics all engender theoretical and practical scenarios, proposals and visions that expose today’s security paradigm, advo- cate alternative (conceptual) models or offer insights into the current ethics and aesthetics of security. Jorinde Seijdel (editor-in-chief of Open magazine) elaborated on the editorial policy of this edition. Subjective atlas of the European Union | Annelys de Vet Annelys de Vet started up several projects to ‘remap’ the Netherlands and the European Union, based on subjective involvement. De Vet is convinced of the necessity to create personal images based on culture. She believes in retelling stories over and over again and constructing new narratives. Not in order to change, but to exchange alternating perceptions of cultural concepts, and to stay at a safe distance from the magnetic ﬁ elds of mass media. The growing archive Nederland ≠ Nederland records small cultural differences between the Netherlands and other countries and can be consulted at: www.annelysdevet.nl/vrijnederland. 19 th century photography, a military past and the uncanny | Dirk Lauwaert Dirk Lauwaert (senior researcher, Hogeschool Sint-Lukas, Brussels, BE) studied the role of photography in relation to urbanism, tourism, restoration and the patrimonial monument. In this lecture he focused on the military past of 28 …

Maastricht, and the general problem of security represented in 19th century photography. Mapping conspiratorial spaces | Tina Clausmeyer Tina Clausmeyer (researcher Design department) gave a lecture on a new cross-disciplinary media research project, which will be part of artist and senior lecturer Pam Skelton’s (GB) and scientist Achim Heinrich’s (DE) main project Conspiracy dwellings and objects – The Stasi ring unveiled. The project carries out a network analysis of surveillance patterns, visualising the conspiratorial meeting places of the Stasi, the former Ministry for State Security and main intelligence organization of the former German Democratic Republic. Normality and control – deviance and uncontrollable situations | Ole Frahm Urban space in European inner cities is characterised by the privatisation of public spaces on the one hand and the ho- mogenising of space – turning it into a zone for consumer goods – on the other. Privatisation is all about controlling space by means of video surveillance and security guards; homogenisation is about making uniform the attitudes of the people who use the inner city. LIGNA (DE), an artists’ collective Ole Frahm (researcher Theory department 2002 – 2003) is part of, addresses this development through interventions that stimulate deviant behaviour and attempt to produce uncontrollable situations.

THE TOMORROW BOOK www.charlesnypels.nl On 10 December the second Charles Nypels Lectures took place. The lectures focused on the future of the (text)book and considered the book from a multi-disciplinary point of view. Various aspects, including typography, design, editing, pub- … 29 lishing and distribution, were taken into account. Speakers were experts in different disciplines: Markus Dreßen (designer, editor, DE), Jouke Kleerebezem (artist, editor, advising researcher Design department), Carel Kuitenbrouwer (design critic, NL), Walter Nikkels (designer, typographer, NL), Just van Rossum & Erik Blokland (letter designers, LettError, NL), Astrid Vorstermans (editor, publisher, NL) and Lars Müller (publisher, designer, CH). Concrete research questions concerning the future of the book were formulated for a second Charles Nypels research project of which Filiep Tacq (advising researcher Design department) is overall coordinator. The research theme was set: The tomorrow book. Navigating to, within and beyond the book. The recruitment campaign, to take on designers, bookmak- ers, reviewers and theoreticians for this project, will start in January 2005. In the current debate the very existence of the book as a medium is often argued to be in danger of disappearing. New (technological) media are allegedly displacing the book. While the craft of bookmaking is deteriorating due to a lack of expertise, the massive, worldwide distribution of bestsell- ing books hinders the publication of less commercial texts. The research project The tomorrow book. Navigating to, within and beyond the book chooses not to take such a negative stance. The project members, convinced of the fact that the book will never cease to exist, centre their research on the speciﬁ c qualities of the book. The book, after all, has a physical reality and functionality that is irreplaceable in the ﬁ elds of education and science as well as in the public domain. Moreover, the pleasure of making and reading a book is dis- tinctly unique. The umbrella theme of the project The tomorrow book is navigation. The term navigation, as used in the virtual media, can apply to the material book as well. Navigating 30 … to refers to the ways in which books are made available to potential readers, how they are made appealing and are subsequently purchased or borrowed. Navigating within a book can be purposively done through particular reference tools (index, notes, page numbers, illustrations) or through personal associations. Navigating also concerns the links and relationships that a book establishes with other books and media. It can, furthermore, refer to the position of the book and its contents once it is published, distributed and read.

CIRCLE FOR LACANIAN IDEOLOGY CRITIQUE – CLiC www.janvaneyck.nl/~clic The Jan van Eyck Circle for Lacanian Ideology Critique (CLiC) gathers researchers who are interested in Lacanian theory and consider it an open set of tools that enable researchers to critically consider contemporary (post)modern culture. CLiC intends to activate the psychoanalytical – and especially Lacanian – background of many current philosophers and critics, such as Agamben, Badiou, Jameson, Laclau, Mouffe, Negri, Derrida, Nancy, Rancière, Žižek and Zupancic. Insight into the Lacanian background of these theories is indispensable to discover the very core of their critical poten- tialities, which is why a confrontation with and a reading of the Lacanian text is one of CLiC’s main objectives.

On love: a concept to analyse current cultural discontent? Every other week seminars were held, focusing on the concept of ‘love’. Marc De Kesel (advising researcher Theory department) chaired these meetings. In some of today’s most important critical theories – by Badiou, Kristeva and Žižek for instance – love has become a … 31 positive point of reference. However, Christian and human- istic tradition often manifests love’s ambiguous and even perverse nature. What is love, if in its name so many atroci- ties have been possible? In that perspective, it is interesting to ﬁ nd that thinkers have always been aware of the ambiguities pertaining to this notion. The seminars showed that although the concepts ‘subject’ and ‘representation’ may have become less than central in contemporary philosophy, they are indispensable to a Lacanian analysis of (post-)modern society – including art, visual culture and ideology critique. The basic premise of a Lacanian approach states that, instead of being able to go beyond representation, we can only subvert it, and that the notion of ‘subject’ is a necessary tool in this subversive strategy.

On the place of psychoanalysis in current political and cultural theory On 21 February a round-table was held on the place of psychoanalysis in current political and cultural theory. Since decades, Lacanian psychoanalysis has not only been an important clinical practice, it has also been used as a strong tool for political theory and ideology critique. Contemporary authors Badiou and Žižek attest to the quality and strength of this tradition. Nevertheless, there seems to be a tendency to consider Lacanian psychoanalysis as unusable, obsolete or potentially misleading. That is why CLiC wishes to discuss the role Lacanian criticism can play in current debates concerning culture and politics. Marc De Kesel introduced CLiC in twelve statements. Speakers were Justin Clemens (Deakin University, Melbourne, AU) The purloined veil, Lieven Jonckheere (Hogeschool Gent, BE) Evaluation today: from the fry- 32 … ing pan of control into the ﬁ re of growth, Jean Matthee (ﬁ lmmaker, GB) and Heleen Pott (Erasmus University, Rotterdam, NL).

Ending up with religion again? Christianity in contemporary political and psychoanalytical theory Since the Enlightenment, religion has been one of the main targets of Western critical theory; it was criticised for its anti-scientifi c and anti-rational spirit and unmasked as an ideological weapon in the hands of the ruling political and cultural power. Contemporary thinkers bred within this tradition fully endorse this critique. Yet, it is remark- able to see that in their works religion, and in particular Christianity, takes up an important position; a signifi cant object of criticism, it is often a positive point of reference as well. It is as if the interest in Christianity, including its problems and its crises, enables current ideology critique to deal with its own problems and crises. This is perhaps why some of the most innovative theoretical concepts of recent thought are explicitly sustained and illustrated by Christian topics. In that sense, one could refer to the importance of mysticism in Lacan, Lyotard’s fascination with Augustine and Derrida’s preoccupation with religion in Foi et savoir. More recent thinkers such as Agamben, Negri, Taubes, Badiou and Žižek consider the “Christian legacy” (Žižek) an inevitable point of reference for any contemporary political theory. The international conference – organised on 10 and 11 May by CLiC, in collaboration with the Heyendaal Instituut (K.U. Nijmegen, NL) and the California Psychoanalytic Circle – questioned the presence of Christianity and its (re)affi rmation in contemporary political and psychoana- … 33 lytical theory. Rather than providing answers, this reference to Christianity might fi rst of all generate new questions, or a new way of articulating the problems we are fac- ing nowadays. The relationship between Christianity and Judaism, the transformation of Judaic concepts of law, ethics, the Other, as well as the “fulfi lment” or “cancellation” of Judaism in Pauline Christianity were addressed. Speakers were: Erik Borgman (K.U. Nijmegen, NL) Immanuel, again, Thomas Brockelman (Le Moine College, Syracuse NY, US) ’It’s cyber-capitalism, stupid!’, Slavoj Žižek, modernity and Pauline Christianity, Simon Critchley (New School University, New York, US) Shylock as Nietzsche. Mercy, merchants, money and morality, Marc De Kesel (K.U. Nijmegen, NL) Religion as critique, critique as religion. On the ‘monotheistic’ weakness of contemporary criticism, Alexander García Düttmann (Goldsmiths College, GB) A new way of living, not a new belief, Juliet Flower MacCannell (UC Irvine, US) The negative universal. Looking for love in all the wrong places?, Tracy McNulty (Cornell University, US) Christianity and the invention of the father, John Roberts (University of Wolverhampton, GB) Refl ective renunciation, repressive desublimation and the revolutionary tradition, Alberto Toscano (Goldsmiths College, GB) The political theology of revolt, Frank Vande Veire (Hogeschool Gent, BE) The sacrifi ce of sacrifi ce, Erik Vogt (Trinity College, Hartford, US) Christianity as the religion of atheism. Žižek’s materialist reading of Christianity. Respondents to the lectures were: Monika Bakke (researcher Theory department), Jason Barker (lecturer, London, GB), Lorenzo Chiesa (University of Warwick, GB), Justin Clemens (Deakin University, Melbourne, AU), Oliver Feltham (Collège Masillon, Paris, FR), Dominiek Hoens (researcher Theory department), Kirsten 34 …

Hyldgaard (Danish University of Education, Copenhagen, DK), Andrew McGettigan (Middlesex University, GB), Benjamin Noys (University College, Chichester, GB), Nina Power (Middlesex University, GB), Robrecht Vanderbeeken (researcher Theory department), Evert van der Zweerde (K.U. Nijmegen, NL) Religion within the limits of psychoanalysis On 13 May the California Psychoanalytic Circle organised its annual conference, at which thinkers reﬂ ected, psycho- analytically, on the theoretical turn towards positive religion in recent writing – in particular the reliance on ﬁ gural and typological interpretation. Papers addressed the recur- rent theme of universal love (non-sexual and non-divided). Religion and science in psychoanalysis were also considered in relation to each other, through the eyes of psychoanalysis and contemporary philosophy. Papers treated philosophers Kierkegaard, Deleuze and Peirce, as well as the opposite of love: war. Speakers were: David Gray Carlson and Jeanne Schroeder (Yeshiva University, Cardozo Law School, IL) Does god exist?, Lyat Friedman (Bar-Ilan University, Tel Aviv, IL) The post-traumatic human: some thoughts on religion and science in Freud’s writings, Dominiek Hoens (researcher Theory department) On love in the work of Jacques Lacan, Kirsten Hyldgaard (Danish University of Education, Copenhagen, DK) Contingency and necessity in love, Jeffrey Librett (Loyola University of Chicago, US) Typolog y in psychoanalysis: Judaism and Christianity in Žižek’s recent work, Daniel MacCannell (screenwriter, US) ’False north’: Milton, religion and the Scots, Lilian Munk Rösing (University of Copenhagen, DK) When it comes to love, you should go for the real thing, Manya Steinkoler (Fordham University, US) What does a woman want to believe? … 35

A community of scoundrels Marc De Kesel and Dominiek Hoens have conducted research into the concept of the gift in modern society, as explored by scholars from various disciplines, including political theory, critical thinking, philosophy, theology and social sciences, psychoanalysis and communication theory. Lars von Trier’s ﬁ lm Dogville was used as a ‘primary text’. The background to von Trier’s ﬁ lm is the argument that modern society is supposed to be a free society, based on mutual respect for individual freedom. This, at least, is what we consider a given ever since the rise of modernity. It is on the basis of this belief that we have organised our society after the French revolution. However, the question is whether this idea of freedom represses a deeper and more problematic (even more violent) level. Dogville shows a small community that experiences the beauty of offering someone hospitality. What begins as an idyll of freedom, giving and mercy, nevertheless ends in catastrophe, in full-blown holocaust. In May 2005 the international conference A community of scoundrels will take place in Nijmegen.

ON THE TELEVISION WORK OF JEF CORNELIS The Jan van Eyck, in cooperation with Argos (Brussels, BE), has started a research project on the television work by Jef Cornelis, producer, scriptwriter and director at the Flemish broadcasting corporation (BRT and later VRT) from 1963 up until 1998. In these 35 years Cornelis accomplished an impressive body of work and yet his work is all but studied and refl ected on, even though television has always been a pre-eminent public medium. While Cornelis made a large number of fi lms for television, he was also an active participant in the international art scene. As early as the 1960s he 36 … was involved in various art initiatives (such as the alternative art space A379089, with Kasper König coordinating and James Lee Byars, Marcel Broodthaers and Panamarenko participating). In the 1990s, as a member of the Committee of Fine Arts of the Flemish Community, he contributed to a thorough rethinking of the purchasing politics as well as the interrelationships with artists and museums of the Flemish government. Since he actively participated in the Belgian and international art scene Cornelis found the right ‘ins’ to realise his television work. The abovementioned imperfect refl exive dealing with Cornelis’ work is a symptom of a general discursive neglect of the medium of television. Cornelis’ oeuvre is idiosyncratic in nature and has distinguishing stylistic characteristics. His fi lms on fi ne art, architecture and literature are unique documents that were realised under exceptional conditions of production. The research project is threefold: fi rstly, it studies the language of broadcasting that Cornelis developed; secondly, it assesses the value of Cornelis’ fi lms as documentaries and thirdly, it probes into the circumstances under which the fi lms were realised. Cornelis’ work comprises essays on the art world (documentaries covering art manifestations such as the Venice Biennale, Documenta, Chambres d’Amis, Sonsbeek, Skulpturprojekte Münster); essays on architecture and urbanism (mainly in collaboration with Geert Bekaert (architecture theorist and critic, BE); essays on literature and writers; essays on the work of artists (canonical artists such Theo van Doesburg, René Magritte and Piet Mondriaan, as well as contemporary artists Marcel Broodthaers, Stanley Brouwn, Daniel Buren, James Lee Byars, Panamarenko and Jan Vercruysse; essays on cultural philosophy and sociology in the television series IJsbreker and Container. … 37

The project investigated the television fi lms made by Jef Cornelis, work-specifi c aspects as well as broader contextual issues such as the problems of representation of art on television and the television as ‘public medium’ in general. Speakers were invited to present lectures on works by Cornelis. Each speaker adopted a particular line of approach; some lectures were thematic, others concerned a single fi lm. Screenings were followed by discussions. Dirk Lauwaert (Hogeschool Sint-Lukas, Brussels, BE) talked about Abdij van het park, Heverlee (1964); Bart Verschaffel (University of Ghent, BE) discussed the fi lms Ge kent de weg en de taal (1976) and Brussel, scherven van geluk (1995) and Christian Philipp Müller (artist, CH) introduced the fi lm A public swimming-pool for Münster (1987). Lieven De Cauter (University of Louvain & RITS, Brussels, BE) commented on Landschap met kerken (1989); Daniël Biltereyst (University of Ghent, BE) opted for Container; Marc Holthof (writer, BE) discussed Jan Vercruysse (1990) and Music Box (1994) and Jannah Loontjens (researcher Theory department 2002 – 2003) introduced Na alle vlees (portret van een werkwijze) (1981) Arjen Mulder (media theoretician, writer, NL) discussed Container 2 and Wouter Davidts (University of Ghent, BE) the Daniel Buren tapes. Rudi Laermans (University of Louvain, BE) lectured on Voyage à Paris (1993), Chris Dercon (Haus der Kunst, Munich, DE) on Call it sleep (1992), Steven Jacobs (University of Ghent, BE) on Documenta 4 (1968) & Documenta 5 (1972) and Geert Bekaert and Bart Verschaffel on O.M.A./Koolhaas (1985). Eric de Bruyn (University of Groningen, NL) spoke on Sonsbeek buiten de perken (1971) and Stephan Geene (advising researcher Theory department) commented on the Marcel Broodthaers tapes. 38 …

META HAVEN: SEALAND IDENTITY PROJECT www.metahaven.net The Meta haven: Sealand identity project conceives a national visual identity for the Principality of Sealand, a mini-state and so-called data-haven, founded in 1967 and situated on a military fortress off the British coast in international waters. The project concerns itself with the designing of stamps, money, passports and fl ags as much as with network society, identity encryption, espionage and intelligence, the fi ctionalisation of history and the notion of the data-haven. The act of designing Sealand’s national visual identity aims to tackle a number of subjects that are relevant to the fi eld of graphic design in contemporary network society. Whereas traditional governments are characterised by their physical addresses (The White House, 10 Downing Street), Sealand is no longer dependent on such linear space-place relations and can explore this new freedom to its full extent. The nature of Sealand and the data-haven allows for an unprecedented embrace of the ambiguity and complexity of network society by graphic design – with an end goal that surpasses in-crowd communication. Sealand is an internationally renowned legal test case regarding sovereignty; the team investigates its connection to information networks, the concept of piracy and the idea of empire. The Meta haven design team – consisting of graphic designer Daniël van der Velden (initiator and advising researcher Design department), Tina Clausmeyer, Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers (researchers Design department) and Next Architects (Marijn Schenk and Bart Reuser) – has developed new strategies for Sealand’s identity, exposing it as a complex web of instable signifi ers. … 39

State of emergency. Territorial identity in the post-political age Conference organised on 23 September at the Stedelijk Museum CS (Amsterdam, NL). As the information age proceeds, the hegemonic coordinates of the present world order are changing in front of our very eyes. The nation state’s sovereignty is put under pressure by a myriad of inter-, sub- and trans-national forces. A new and entirely globalised form of sovereignty emerges, based on the permanent and ever-present exchange of capital, information and goods. As a result, the construct called ‘nation state’ – and its identity – cannot be founded merely on a continuation of values that we have come to think of as ‘sov- ereign’. Simultaneously, many ‘single-issue spaces’ engulf the earth, challenging the political world map to an even greater degree. Terra incognita = everywhere. Design, architecture, theory and philosophy are increasingly relevant lines of approach as new political, spatial and informational conditions are explored. Rather than taking on passive or descriptive roles, they generate thought-provoking new ideas. Whether it is the temporary suspension of the ju- ridical order, the mapping of a whole range of new political spaces emerging across the earth, the foundation of an international tribunal questioning the ‘Project for a new American century’, the design of an experimental identity for a law-free mini-state or rethinking the visual identity of the European Union, these disciplines are becoming key to an imaginative understanding of what territorial identity means today and what it might mean tomorrow. State of emergency. Territorial identity in the post-political age questions the modern conception of the European nation- state, its self-defi nition and its visual representation. Modern sovereignty – and likewise, identity – has often defi ned itself 40 … against an outside ‘Other’. When the ‘Other’ is lacking, does this entail that one invents an imaginary ‘outside’ of one’s own in order to secure an even more imaginary inside – as is the case with the Axis of evil, the hostile ‘Other’ that the West has conceived? How does a transnational entity manifest itself? How is the transformation of the former Eastern bloc affecting Europe’s identity – and vice versa? What is the meaning and impact of ‘single issue spaces’, tax and Internet havens and micro-nations? Do new conditions produce new symbolic realities and images? The conference brought together architects, designers, academics, theorists and curators. Slavoj Žižek (philosopher, cultural theorist, interdisciplinary thinker and professor at the Institute for Social Sciences, Ljubljana, SI) lectured on The right of those who were missed by the bombs. Anselm Franke (curator and critic, Berlin, DE) presented his Islands and Territories projects. Boris Buden (writer and cultural theorist, Berlin, DE) related his expertise on a culturally and politically divided Europe to the shifting territories and demo- graphics of post-communist societies, formerly known as the Eastern bloc. Reinier de Graaf (The Offi ce for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), architectural offi ce founded by Rem Koolhaas) presented results of OMA/AMO’s research of the €-conography project. Dieter Lesage (philosopher and lecturer at the RITS and Erasmushogeschool, Brussels, BE) spoke about Resistance, identity, Europe. Lieven De Cauter (philosopher and lecturer at the University of Louvain, BE and at the RITS, Brussels, BE) moderated the panel discussion and made the introductory statement that was partially based on his book The capsular civilisation. On the city in the age of fear (2004). … 41

MICROPOLIS www.janvaneyck.nl/micropolis The research project Micropolis, a collaboration between the Jan van Eyck Academie and the Belgian city of Louvain, started in October 2003 and ended in April 2004. Six researchers, advised by Linda van Deursen and Armand Mevis (advising researchers Design department), were commissioned to research the issues of cultural identity and communication of Louvain. The team investigated such queries as: What are Louvain’s most striking characteristics? Is the friendly atmosphere, so typical of student towns, a geographical indicator? What characteristics does Louvain possess that it can use to create a distinct proﬁ le? Is diversity a useful and efﬁ cient marketing instrument? Is it preferable for Louvain to create and present a univocal image?

Uses of geographical indicators This workshop, held on 22 March, looked into geographical characteristics of Louvain. The geographical thesaurus shows that Louvain is an inhabited place on earth, situated in Europe, in Belgium, in Flanders, in the province of Flemish Brabant. Etymologically, Louvain, derived from the Latin word louvanium, means fast fl owing water, or refers to forest and marshland. These defi nitions point to characteristics of the Louvain setting. Apart from these, it was investigated whether Louvain has other geographical characteristics that might explain the origins of products and services. Could these geographical indicators be of use in the communication of Louvain’s cultural identity? If so, what were the legal implications? Uses of geographical indicators | Kobe Matthys In his presentation, Kobe Matthys (artist, founder of Agency, Brussels, BE) used the products of Parma ham, feta 42 … cheese and champagne to exemplify and explain the defi nition of ‘geographic indicator’. A product or service is given a geographic indicator to legally protect their specifi c, indig- enous qualities. A distinction is made between indications of origin and of designation. In either case, a geographical indicator is intellectual property. Geographical indicators in the work of cultural policy: marketing Louvain | Rosemary Coombe Rosemary Coombe (anthropologist and judicial theoretician, York University, CA) studies cultural, political and social implications of intellectual property rights. She explored whether geographical indicators can be used within the context of cultural policy, and how intellectual property rights affect cultural policies in consumer societies. Tequila | Ana Valenzuela As is the case with the wines from the Bourgogne area, the name tequila derives from its place of origin, in the highlands of Jaliscan in Central Mexico. Tequila is a city, a municipality, a valley and a mountain. It is also a kind of agave (tequilana) often used in brewing tequila. Tequila, or more precisely, ‘mescal de tequila’, was the fi rst mescal to be indexed on the basis of its geographical place of origin. Consequently, it is the only mescal that can carry the name tequila. Ana Valenzuela (biologist, ethologist, botanical expert in agaves, University of Guandalajara, MX) discussed tequila as a geographical indicator.

Second phase During the second phase of the Micropolis project – January until April 2004 (inclusive) – researchers Kasper Andreasen, Julia Born, Min Choi, Sulki Choi, Alon Levin and Anne- Sofi e Thomsen developed a variety of tools and devices that would give insight into the issue of cultural identity and its … 43 communication using the umbrella concepts of atlas, index and utopia. Louvain is the city where Thomas Moore wrote Utopia, Mercator put together the fi rst Atlas and the Catholic Church composed its index with the titles of banned works. The Micropolis team proposed to use these historically charged concepts in Louvain’s current cultural communication. These ‘container concepts’, given careful consideration and effi ciently presented, could generate a better understanding of one’s own culture and stimulate participation. On 27 April the researchers presented their results, after Linda van Deursen and Armand Mevis had introduced the umbrella theme. Urban landscapes. A pathfi nder for Louvain | Kasper Andreasen Kasper Andreasen studied the cartographic history of the city of Louvain and came up with an alternative route or key map: a collection of maps including photographs of various locations and sites make the visitor follow a course into, but also out of the city centre. Furthermore, Andreasen made a book of photographs of contemporary Louvain; the photographs could serve as pointers to map out new routes. What Louvain is not. What Louvain is | Julia Born & Anne-Sofi e Thomsen Julia Born’s and Anne-Sofi e Thomsen’s project consisted of three parts. They took their inspiration from trompe l’oeils and the numerous blind walls to be found in Louvain. In a series of murals, they showed what Louvain is not: sea- side resort, panorama, hard-rock café. In the same vein, they suggested to turn the lorries of the local brewery Stella Artois into means of communication throughout Europe. Moreover, they developed a system of posters that visually communicate Louvain’s cultural structure. 44 …

Louvain now | Min Choi & Sulki Choi Louvain now is a system related to the Internet that gathers various data concerning the city: activities, weather conditions, traffi c announcements, street sounds, consuming hab- its and so on. The data are processed into digital cards that give an outline of the city and its ever-changing status. Cultural index | Alon Levin Research into the cultural sphere of infl uence in Louvain made Alon Levin conclude there is no such thing as a common means of communication for all cultural institutions. Levin then proposed to develop a cultural index, which includes activities organised by municipal, academic and cultural institutions on a quarterly basis. The index states date, medium and discipline. The colourful imagery uses parts of culturally important buildings and images of the different Euro coins in circulation in Louvain. Discussion Wouter Davidts (University of Ghent, BE), Moritz Küng (curator deSingel, Antwerp, BE), Karel Martens (Werkplaats Ty pogra fi e, Arnhem, NL), Daniël van der Velden (graphic designer and advising researcher Design department), Jouke Kleerebezem (advising researcher Design department) were panel members. They agreed on one thing: each single proposal testifi ed to the fact that Louvain possesses a plural, fragmented identity. However, there was no consen- sus on how to communicate this less-than-uniform identity and trigger interest from the public at large and the political world. Communication must be transparent and effi cient but when cultural differences are treated as equal, it diminishes the overall diversity. All in all, the proposals were seen as in- jections for the city, which, if carried out, might give some insight into the multiple and plural identity that the city of Louvain wishes to communicate. … 45

TH 19 CENTURY CITY PHOTOGRAPHY In this research project Dirk Lauwaert (senior researcher, Hogeschool Sint-Lukas, Brussels, BE) studies the role of photography in relation to urbanism, tourism, restoration and the patrimonial monument. On 4 June the Jan van Eyck and the Hogeschool Sint- Lukas organised a symposium on 19th century city photography that took a historical and European-centred perspective and outlined the context of the demolition of the Maastricht city walls. The city walls and gates constitute a strong visual concept: how were they visualised in engravings and what accents did photographers add to this image? Speakers were: Toon Jenniskens (cultural historian, NL) City walls of Maastricht in the second half of the 19th century; Dirk Lauwaert Iconography of the city walls in several European cities: theme and variations; Ingrid Evers (historian, freelance researcher, NL) State of affairs relating to the photographs of Maastricht photographer Wijnen; Carlo Cesari (University of Venice, IT) General summary of the city walls issue in Europe in the 19th century; Mark Klett (photographer, artist, University of New York, US) General introduction to the methodology of rephotography. The workshop on 5 June, run by Mark Klett, was mainly aimed at photographers and dealt with the technical aspects of late 19th century shooting and printing practices used by photographers in Maastricht and elsewhere. The workshop explored the methodology of ‘rephotography’, a method that consists of reconstructing, as accurately as possible, an existing image, using contemporary techniques and historical working methods. On 25 November Lauwaert gave a lecture during which he focused on the military past of a city like Maastricht and its consequences for city life. He further studied how the military past and the general problem of security were represented 46 … in 19th century photography and how photography dealt with the issue of insecurity and the concept of the uncanny.

PUBLICATIONS & RESONANCES The artist’s book is a special phenomenon within fi ne art. The Jan van Eyck Academie has proved to be a good environment for this type of publication. Throughout the years quite a number of artists have chosen to make artists’ books. This provoked a certain curiosity: How and why were so many artists’ books produced here? The project Publications and resonances aimed to answer these questions. A team consisting of Johan Deumens (publisher, producer of artists’ books and artistic coordinator of the project) and four Cultural Sciences students from Maastricht University carried out this research. First, an inventory was made of all publications produced at the Jan van Eyck. From this inventory, a selection of about 40 artists’ books was made. In this project, artists’ books were defi ned as self-contained works with a clear concept, with the artist having overall control of the production process. The makers of the selected books were interviewed by the team. They were asked about the origin of their book, their time at the Jan van Eyck and their work in general. This clarifi ed the artist’s book’s appearance, as well as how it could be placed in the timeframe of its origination on the one hand and in the oeuvre of the artist on the other. The publications, heterogeneous in nature, are often the results of personal quests. The research results, in the shape of tran- scribed interviews and biographies, will be made available on a website. The following people were interviewed: Ingolfur Orn Arnarsson, Ralph Bauer, Anne Bertus, Cor Blok, Johan Cornelissen, Caroline Curtis, Mariana Castillo Deball, Helgi Thorgils Fridjonsson, Michael Gibbs, Iris Hever, … 47

TRICHTLINNBURG www.tricht-linn-burg.org The project Trichtlinnburg, set up at the Jan van Eyck Academie by Hinrich Sachs (advising researcher Fine Art department), is a collaboration with the Salzburger Kunstverein (AT) and the Centre for Contemporary Art, Tallinn (EE). The project generates a discussion on contemporary urban dynamics and politics and the immediate consequences for artists, designers, architects as well as art institutions. In its discursive form Trichtlinnburg is a conversation between cultural professionals who live in the European cities of Maastricht, Tallinn and Salzburg. In a series of meetings and gatherings pertinent questions about the urban landscape were raised by the members of the study group. They considered urban etiquette, the concepts of city preservation and development, and cultural productions commissioned by city authorities versus those initiated by artists and/or other authors. The formats of going public were explored and a draft proposal for an exhibition event was made. The working group at the Jan van Eyck Academy has developed into a forum for debate and reﬂ ection, encouraging its participants to question the nature of the places they work and live in and be aware of their personal roles and positioning within the accelerated cultural settings of their own cities. 48 …

The group gathered on a monthly basis. Experts from various professional backgrounds were invited to share refl ections and perspectives. On 9 February lectures were held on the subjects of city photography, urban contradictions, graphic projects. Asier Pérez González (artist, project manager, Bilbao, PT) talked about The city has no truth, live aloud in contradiction and Dirk Lauwaert (senior researcher, Hogeschool Sint- Lukas, Brussels, BE) presented a paper on 19th century city photography. On 29 March presentations, performances and discussions were held. KIWA (artist, writer, composer, Tallinn, EE) presented a text and gave a performance by way of introduction to his work. Felix Janssens (graphic design and communication concepts, Rotterdam, NL) gave a lecture about graphic projects in Rotterdam and about a community web realised by his ‘bureau for tele(communication), histo- ricity & mobility’. He focused on the offi ce’s recent reconsid- eration of ‘the monument’ in the public realm. On 4 May Dorit Margreiter (artist, Vienna, AT) addressed ‘everyday life’ in terms of idustrialisation, technolo- gisation, urbanisation, mediatisation and globalisation. Margreiter’s artistic and strategic point of departure is ‘the production of space’. Katja Reichard (artist, curator and co-owner of the bookshop ‘Pro qm’, Berlin, DE) gave a lecture on the exhibition project Learning from* – Cities of the world, Phantasms of civil society, Informal organisation, which took place in Berlin and brought together international artists and researchers. The project focused on urban realities beyond a European understanding of ‘civitas’, avoiding preconceived images of urban structures, perspectives, strategies, crises and confl icts. … 49

On 7 June Karl Sabbagh (writer and documentary director, GB) lectured on From Tate to television. From 1996 to 2000, Karl Sabbagh followed the process of designing and building the Tate Modern. The huge art gallery was constructed within the framework of a disused power station in the heart of London. In this lecture Sabbagh showed extracts from the television series that was the result of the fi lming and discussed the challenges of trying to describe the design and construction process to a mass audience. Martin Heller (DE) presented the paper How to become a town musician? Some refl ections about reading the city of Bremen and its cultural ambitions. Bremen fi ercely competes to become ‘Cultural Capital of Europe 2010’. Martin Heller, creative director of Bremen’s candidature since May 2003, has come to know the social, political and cultural aspects of this city. His approach is nearly anthropological. Heller is ambassador for Bremen and an innovator within the Island of Bremen itself. Against this background, he discussed the creating of cultural strategies in a defi ned context. On 14 September Candice Breitz (artist, Berlin, DE) presented Re-animations, a presentation on a number of video works. Her work has focused largely on photography and video installation. In her talk, she discussed several of the video installations she made in recent years and her practice in general. Thus she queried the possibility of appropriating and re-animating imagery and footage derived from the realm of mass entertainment. She also pondered the question of the relationship between art practice and the culture industry at large, and whether it is possible to confi gure an active and productive dialogue between mass media and their target audience. On 12 and 13 November a fi rst public presentation within the framework of Trichtlinnburg took place at Café Zuid in 50 …

Maastricht. The DJ-VJ Sight Club of artists’ collective Gold Extra (Salzburg, AT) combined, split and mixed image and sound material from Maastricht. Maastricht VJ and artist Paul Devens and bolwerK (Antwerp, BE) remixed sounds and images from Salzburg. Apart from the performance of the DJ-VJ Sight Club, the artists’ duo KinematiX, Lucia Macari (researcher at the Fine Art department) and Dima Riba launched their latest vinyl Hip hop on bones. The video clip and the lyrics tells the story of a nocturnal, violent assault on a young woman in Chisinau (Moldavia). Using humour and mockery, KinematiX turned this violent incident into a theatrical spectacle. From 27 May until 5 June 2005 the big public event of Trichtlinnburg is taking place in the public space of the city of Maastricht.

UBISCRIBE www.ubiscribe.net The public presentation Personal publishing pandemonium, set up in collaboration with Maastricht-based artists’ centre Marres in May 2003, was a ﬁ rst step towards the research into the explosive development of many forms of multi- medial and multi-disciplinary chronicles such as weblogs, blogs, vlogs and photologs. The research project and on-line publication platform UbiScribe, subsidised by the Mondriaan Foundation and the Province of Limburg, started in 2004 and focuses on new modes of authoring and of on-line and off-line publishing, in which networked information and communication support the conception, production and distribution of original publishing formats in whatever media. These network publications, which use the possibilities of the Internet optimally in their execution, are emphatically different from publications … 51 that exist on CD or DVD or in print. UbiScribe publications are open structures that exist on and off the network and occur in great diversity. UbiScribe studies today’s state of ‘pervasive publishing’ and communication networks such as Ubicomp – ubiquitous computing – in which many-to-many ways of publishing use multiple channels and a huge number of output formats. Apart from stimulating research on personal(ised) publishing (hardware, software and content), UbiScribe investigates so-called ‘content management systems’ and how they are applied in artistic production. On 17 May Jouke Kleerebezem (advising researcher Design department) presented the paper Stand-up publishing. Claudia Hardi (UbiScribe project assistant) discussed the content management programmes DevonThink and DevonAgent and interactive ways of storing images and texts. Yolande Harris (researcher Theory department) talked about Post-production of the Meta–Orchestra. Koen Brams (director Jan van Eyck Academie) introduced the project on the tel- evison work of Jef Cornelis. The Meta-Orchestra and the Jef Cornelis projects served as case studies to show how computer programmes can be applied to manage the projects’ contents.

VISUALIZING THE VISUAL. READING, WRITING AND MAPPING THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE CONGO RIVER AT BRAZZAVILLE AND KINSHASA www.archi-art.net/forum Earlier research conducted by Wim Cuyvers (advising researcher Design department) in various Western cities and regions such as Belgrade, Brussels, New York, Paris and Tirana has shown that we are able to ‘read’ different Western cities while possessing very little prior knowledge. 52 …

Adopting the gaze of the needy, we are taking and retak- ing signiﬁ cant ‘walks’ through these cities, while recording and mapping at the same time. The research project Visualizing the visual aims at investigating whether this kind of research can only be conducted in cities that be- long to the Western culture we are part of, or whether it can also be applied in other cultures. If the latter is true, this would mean that we can really communicate through (public) space, that (public) space could be considered a (universal) means of communication, a language in its own right. The research project focuses on two cities in the Congo area: Brazzaville and Kinshasa. These cities are coping with post-war conditions that are ‘easier’ – that is: more obvious – to read: they allow us to systematically draw up inventories of war damage inﬂ icted on buildings or building infrastructure. Furthermore, systematic research will be done into dead-end streets in Kinshasa and Brazzaville. Kinshasa and Brazzaville are regarded as each other’s mirror images – the Congo river being the dividing or mirroring line. The waterfronts and embankments of Brazzaville and Kinshasa will be compared, as will be the international presence in both cities. Also, the architectural and urban remains of the French and Belgian colonial periods will be taken stock of. Public space will be read as: the space of transgression; a place where dirt and slurry accumulates; space that is not privatized; the place of the vulnerable; the places where colonial architecture is located; the places where Western institutions are situated. Visualizing the visual is a project initiated and set up by the Design department of the Jan van Eyck Academie and operates within the larger framework of the research project Authoring the city. Coordinator of the project is Wim Cuyvers. With six researchers from the Design research projects 53 department – Kristien Van den Brande, Tina Clausmeyer, Kobe Matthys, Sabine Müller, Dirk Pauwels and Andreas Quednau – who have training in architecture, urbanism, theory, visual arts and design, Cuyvers will undertake two visits to Kinshasa and Brazzaville in 2005. One researcher – Sébastien Maniglier – is organising and hosting a website forum. Two-day team meetings are held every two weeks. Public presentations are set up and external experts are re- ported to on a two-monthly basis. 54 seminars

Deleuze cinema books | Eva Meyer Exactly and paradoxically because image and reality are different, the difference between ﬁ ction and documentary can disappear. There is reality in ﬁ ction, due to the desire to become someone else. Eva Meyer (advising researcher Theory department), together with researchers, rethought the question of faith, that is to say, in Kierkegaard’s words, ‘faith as a matter of passion, of affect and nothing else’. This faith, which avoids both the reiteration of enlightenment clichés and the appeal to an amorphous religiosity, is, as Deleuze puts it, ‘a strange way of thinking’. It weaves a whole set of relations of great value between philosophy and the cinema.

Film and biopolitic | Sabeth Buchmann, Stephan Geene, Helmut Draxler Does fi lm participate in the ‘paradigm of production of life’? Which ‘life’? And is fi lm reproductive or productive? Sabeth Buchmann (advising researcher Theory department), Helmut Draxler (advising researcher Theory department) and Stephan Geene (advising researcher Theory department) wished to investigate the rhetoric of the notion of life in its constitutive impact on most of the art and fi lm categories of the 20th century, using a theoretical-historical approach. They aimed for a re-evaluation of the avant-garde paradigm of transgression, that is to say, the belief that overcoming the institutional and aesthetical-ideological barriers between art and life would entail a fundamental attack on the premises of capitalism and bourgeois society. The avant-garde notion of life along the lines of bio-political categories was discussed, referring to Giorgio Agamben, Michel Foucault and Donna Haraway. Subsequently, this critique on the avant-garde, with its positive references to elements of the genre cinema, was to be revealed as having already become part of a ‘critical’ self- … 55 understanding of artists and fi lmmakers – while their theoretical and political importance has not yet been realized. In the three seminars that were held, Guy Debord’s thesis on the spectacle as the ‘negation of life’ fi rst served as a focal point for a discussion on the nature of visual consumption. Next, Laura Mulvey’s negative fascination with the image as well as traces of the concept of visibility in her theory were explored. Finally, Griselda Pollock’s essay Still working on the subject was the starting point for examining the question how a feministic perspective can render a female body differently.

Free and indirect | Eva Meyer In the medium of language ‘you’ is always a ghost – an appearance extending across sentences, or a ﬁ gure of thought in which language is born. We may safely assume that it is the impression of incongruence between what is thought and the sign that is sent and received. This is why we have to let ourselves be haunted by the possible, that ghostly life of what might have been, and turn it into the motion of what is real, disconnecting it from remembrance and overcoming the opposition of direct and indirect. This motion is not a production of the subject, neither its representation nor its phantasm, but the becoming visible of a connection that can establish itself in an inﬁ nite number of ways: Figures with which we – between philosophy, literature and cinema – have a stand- ing rendezvous.

Liebe geht durch den Magen / Love goes through the stomach. On loving, feeding, and the digestion of food and emotions | Andrea Lassalle and Martin Eberhardt The project Liebe geht durch den Magen / Love goes through the stomach focused on its pictorial quality and investigated the al- 56 … legorical representation as a re-translation of the proverb back into concrete pictures and texts as well as practice. With the material – what might become an archive of love and food – Andrea Lassalle (researcher Theory department) and Martin Eberhardt (writer, DE) attempted to bring about new meanings and analytical perspectives. Taking ‘Liebe geht durch den Magen’ or ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ literally, they reﬂ ect upon the question of how love does or could ‘go through the stomach’. How does it transgress the body, enter it and become digested? What transformations does it go through? Small portions of food were cooked and served on four nights.

Playing TV. A game, possibly for a TV | Raimundas Malasauskas Imagine a commercial television channel in Europe offering its primetime to a contemporary art centre. What role could such a television programme play? What kind of issues should it address? Could artists offer anything for the programme except a set of entertaining postures? Does it, in fact, make any sense to collaborate with a purely commercial entity, whose main principle is the law of audience-ratings and whose basic objective is economic proﬁ t? These and other questions came up when the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius was offered its own television show. Malasauskas (ﬁ lm maker, Vilnius, LT) wanted to realise a global-regional-otherworldly TV project, creating an open laboratory for the making of new forms of television. The proposal concerned the making of open-source reality-TV, including multiplayer role-playing games. Interested researchers were invited to join the crew. … 57

Recruitment campaign 2004 | Goodwill, Felix Janssens, Vinca Kruk, Adriaan Mellegers, Gert Staal Each year the Jan van Eyck invites researchers of the Design department to design a publicity campaign to recruit researchers for the coming year. Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers (researchers Design department) took up this commission and designed a set of different advertisements, a website, a poster and an e-mail. The notion of re-use served as a starting point for the design exercise. Design was thus not perceived as an autonomous, authentic act of creation, but as a partly haphazard co-creation process. Existing graphic identities were transformed by new layers of meaning: by cut-and-paste re-interpretations of existing (archetypal) forms. The designers had identiﬁ ed parameters through which form could be created, instead of actually creating form. A feedback meeting was organised on the design of the campaign. Goodwill (graphic designer, NL), Felix Janssens (graphic design and communication concept, NL) and Gert Staal (designer, NL) presented their comments. Koen Brams (director Jan van Eyck Academie), Jouke Kleerebezem and Filiep Tacq (advising researchers Design department) also engaged in the discussion. The most striking point of criticism related to the editorial aspect of the campaign. The total campaign was said to lack clarity about the aims and objectives of the Jan van Eyck, about whom the campaign was addressing and about what the Jan van Eyck has to offer. Instead of offering rhetoric as a means to achieve a mental effect on the reader, the campaign was said to be politically correct and, therefore, less interesting. 58 …

Report on body | Lina Issa Report on body took the form of a lab, in which different modes of approaching the body and creating movement were explored through a set of exercises, readings and discussions. The lab involved moving into action, ﬁ nding inspiration and negotiating community – exploring different modes of collaboration. Lab001, for instance, investigated the intimacy of moving, using elements from the Skinner Releasing Technique, developed by Joan Skinner. It uses poetic imagery to facilitate deep kinesthetic experience of movement. Participants were trained to connect their bodies to the senses, using them as a base initiator to move and act from. Also, the experience of proximity and distance while moving was explored, practicing the integration of inner and outer focus, and training awareness of perception while moving or witnessing movement. Lab002 began with physical repetitive phrases exploring form and its construction and deconstruction through repetition. This phrase and pattern was also applied to voice and to words. Links between speaking and moving were explored, with the aim of arriving at a place where words and action cannot be dissected, a place that allows subconscious gesture to become a word, an anecdote that could ignite movement. To round things off, Stephan van Dijk (expert Alexander Technique, NL) gave a workshop on the Alexander Technique. In experimenting with and observing movement and thought in activity, participants could discover how they (consciously or unconsciously) guided and directed themselves. Sensory appreciation will always remain subjective, and yet it can become much more reliable by being open to an overall awareness, as opposed to a narrowed awareness. Lina Issa (researcher Fine Art department) wished to explore the (im-)possibility of being able to create – as opposed to … 59

‘to repeat instinctively the same over and over again in different forms’ – without ﬁ rst allowing open communication to recreate yourself, over and over again.

Spotlight on ignored visual culture | Norman Bryson Norman Bryson’s (advising researcher Theory department) current concern in research is with areas of visual culture that tend to be overlooked or ignored in art history and art criticism. Bryson wants to help researchers develop tools for visual and cultural analysis, drawing on a wide range of disciplines and debates, including semiotics, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, queer theory, and literary criticism. In his seminar Chardin and the text of still life Bryson looked at the genre of still life. Historically, still life has always been at the bottom of the genre hierarchy. Having never seen much of a critical literature, many of the fundamental questions concerning this type of image are left unanswered: What does still life do? What is it for? What is its range of cultural, affective, poetic effects? Bryson decided to focus on the case of Chardin, while, at the same time, keeping an eye on the larger history of the genre. In the same vein, his seminar Rethinking Japanese visual culture addressed visual culture in Japan: Meiji Western- style painting, Yukio Mishima and photography, the photo- tableaux of Yasumasa Morimura. Finally, another ‘overlookee’ was addressed in the seminar The practice of drawing. There has never been a tradition of commentary or aesthetic inquiry into the practice of drawing, as there has with history painting, or landscape, or por- traiture. Moreover, academies of ﬁ ne art have, for the most part, long since dropped drawing from their curriculum of instruction. Precisely in the era of its demise, or at least its 60 seminars undervaluation, drawing deserves theoretical reﬂ ection. It has the reputation of being the medium closest to artistic thought or inspiration, and the closest to perception. Does this claim have any substance? What other claims might be made?

The archival aesthetic in 20th century photography | Norman Bryson Another interest of Norman Bryson’s was explored in his seminars and workshops on the use of photographic archives in 20th century art. He especially wanted to understand the role played by the idea of ‘archive’ in surrealism, in post- minimalist work, and in ‘tableau’ photography by artists such as Cindy Sherman and Yasumasa Morimura. In the seminars and workshops Bryson developed new concepts for exploring the consequences of seriality and visual repetition. Materials included the ‘administrative’ archives of the 19th century (crime, prostitution, hysteria, insanity, pov- erty, ethnography) and 20th century projects made in their wake, by Eugène Atget and August Sander. Bryson meant to trace the mutations in the US from New Deal photography to Diane Arbus and the emergence of ‘confessional’ archives (Nan Goldin), and ‘perverse’ archives (Mapplethorpe, Witkin). Similarly, he intended to sketch the complicated evolution in Germany that runs from the Bechers through Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth and beyond. symposia 61

Museum in ¿Motion? Since the second half of the twentieth century the museum of contemporary art has no longer functioned as a static re- pository for the art of the past, but as a dynamic workshop for the art of the present. Ever since the 1960s art has drastically altered its nature and strategies; it has become ever more mobile, critical towards the institutional framework of the museum and eager to operate on more specifi c sites. The museum of contemporary art wants to keep up with the pace, but faces spatial, institutional and socio-political problems and limitations. The museum is uncomfortably aware of the fact that it will always ‘frame’ art. This identity crisis makes the museum indulge in ongoing self-critique, institutional intro- spection and, ultimately, self-denial. In this context, a conference, entitled Museum in ¿Motion?, was co-organised by Museum Het Domein, the Jan van Eyck Academie and the department of Architecture & Urban Planning of the University of Ghent. It took place on 12 November 2004 in Museum Het Domein in Sittard and on 13 November at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. The title of the conference refers to one of the most important publications on the museum: Museum in ¿Motion? The Modern Art Museum at Issue, published in 1979. Speakers discussed the fundamental changes that have oc- curred since 1979. The conference Museum in ¿Motion? comprised two meeting formats. On Friday 12 November a symposium with invited speakers was held at Het Domein in Sittard. Various presentations traced the history of the critical cor- relation between contemporary art and the museum, charted various institutional responses and framed them within the broader context of socio-political changes. Speakers were Alan Wallach (College of William and Mary, US) “The 62 … museum of modern art as late capitalist ritual” twenty-fi ve years later: distinction versus consumerism in the display of contemporary art, Christian Kravagna (Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, AT) The world in the museum: ethnography, culture, and critical art practice, John Welchman (University of California, US) The museum: architecture/sculpture (Gehry), Camiel Van Winkel (art historian and critic, NL) The viewer is never at home and Johanne Lamoureux (University of Montreal, CA) Para-sites. On Saturday 13 November a seminar was organised that presented papers – with speakers at the symposium on Friday acting as referees – and a closed architecture competition at the Jan Van Eyck Academie. Three sessions were held. The fi rst session considered The museum: dreams of a mobile architecture and was chaired by Jeroen Boomgaard (University of Amsterdam, NL). Speakers were Andrea Philips (Goldsmiths College, GB) Walking into trouble. Contemporary art and the pedestrian, Naomi Stead (Sydney University of Technology, AU) Decontextualisation, autonomy, and the neo- avant-garde: institutional critique and museum criticism, Joel Sanders (Yale University, US) Skin deep: transparency and the contemporary museum building, Christoph Grafe (Technical University Delft, NL) Cultural centres in Europe. The second session, Museum and typology, was chaired by Bart Verschaffel (University of Ghent, BE). Speakers were Lieven De Boeck & Teresa Stoppani (University of Greenwich, GB) The architect and the millionaire, the individual and the city and the making of a scattered museum, Wendy Meryem Kural Shaw (Bilgi University, TR) The project of the museum and its projections: museums and the construction of identities in the museums of the Ottoman empire and Turkey. The third and fi nal session presented the design competition Our museum. The jury consisted of Judith Barry (art- symposia 63 ist, US), Jouke Kleerebezem (advising researcher Design department), Roemer Van Toorn (theoretician on architecture, NL) and Tristan Weddingen (art historian, DE). Three teams of architects and artists competed in the design competition: Offi ce (Kersten Geers & David Van Severen), Dries Van de Velde & Richard Venlet, Fün Design Consultancy (Johan De Wachter, Cesar Garcia & Paz Martin), MAMA Showroom & Alicia Framis and One Architecture (Matthijs Bouw & Donald van Dansik) & Berend Strik. The participants were asked to refl ect upon the possible task(s) of architecture in the construction of future museums of contemporary art and to design ‘their museum’. They were expected to develop a project that would encompass a stimulating vision of the present and future role of architecture with regard to the museum of contemporary art. The projects encouraged critical refl ection and triggered discussion on the role of architecture in the construction of the site of the museum. Fün Design Consultancy was awarded the prize of best design. 64 upcoming symposia

Breath-taking. Air, art, architecture | Monika Bakke Monika Bakke (researcher Theory department) is organising a series of lectures on the theme of air and breathing in contemporary fi ne art and theory. Breath is an ephemeral amount of air that the individual makes its own. For man and animal alike it is a frequent and important form of exchange with their environment, even when unconscious. In the classical Western tradition air was considered a primary element; through breath, it represented life and soul. The Oriental tradition confers an even greater importance on air and breath, which can be deduced from the culture’s highly developed breathing techniques and the spiritual force linked to these. In both traditions breathing fuses the physical and spiritual aspects of being human. These aspects do not just refer to the process of breathing in and out, but also to the exchange with the environment via the body surface, in other words, our tactile existence in the world. This physical exchange with the environment does not always have a positive impact, which was shown by what happened after 11 September in New York. Whereas in normal circumstances air is a fi rst requirement of life, the Twin Towers disaster underlined that air can also be incontrollable and even dangerous, not just to travel through, but also to breath in. Curator Koan Jeff Baysa composed the exhibition Oxygen – held in New York – on this matter. Apart from its spiritual and physical characteristics, breathing also has a social dimension. This comes to the fore in a work by Marina Abramovic. In this political pro- test, the artist is breathing in air with the repulsive smell of putrefaction. The air thus represents the change of air from the atmosphere, from vitality to that of violence. Also, … 65 works by Yves Klein (‘air architecture’ project) and Michael Rakowitz (shelters for the homeless) refer to the social dimension of air. Monika Bakke will invite fi ve artists, curators and theoreticians to discuss this subject and interview them.

Innovative game design | Jack Post The Cultural Sciences Faculty of the Maastricht University is involved in research about games and game design and was invited by Auriea Harvey and Michaël Samyn (researchers Design department) to co-produce a one-day symposium on innovative game design practices. Central issue of the symposium is the practice of ‘innovative game design’ and the question how and whether researchers from different traditions can learn practices and methods from each other. What are the possibilities of artistic research in relation to the design of computer games? Do artistic and para-academic environments provide chances for developing and designing innovative game practices? In relation to computer games, is there a fundamental opposition between artistic and para-academic design and industrial design? Are artistic/ innovative design and commercial design mutually exclusive? All speakers at the symposium are involved in the research for innovative design concepts, whether on the level of game play, the use of space, issues of violence or education. Their work crosses borders between commercial and artistic design, between design as a commercial activity and design as a political, educative, subversive activity.

The spectre of the avant-garde | BAVO Today’s cultural circles loudly bemoan the fact that everyday life is totally controlled by market forces and that every act that wants ‘to make a difference’ is censored by the market. In 66 upcoming symposia these circles the signiﬁ er ‘market’ stands for a confused amal- gam that brings together governmental planning agencies, investors, neighbourhood lobby groups and the like. A fas- cinating and horrifying ‘wild dance of multinational capital’ is going on that destroys every cultural alternative. Against this background, the ambivalent reference in progressive design circles to the ‘good old’ avant-garde is symptomatic. Designers refer to avant-garde collectives full of nostalgia: they admire their will to go against the grain, their openness towards the new times, their readiness to reinvent life, et cetera. In the same breath, however, the avant-garde is cast aside for its proto-totalitarian tendencies: its violent implementation of its urban visions, the antidemocratic tools with which it imposes its own ideals on the whole of society. BAVO (Gideon Boie and Matthias Pauwels, researchers Theory department) stated its interest in the relevance of the avant-garde heritage for contemporary cultural production. Through a colloquium organised at the Jan van Eyck BAVO intends to bring together different theorists that have recently put forward a plea ‘for or against’ a necessary revival of the legacy of the avant-garde for resisting the so-called ‘dictatorship of the market’. The presentations and panel discussions will form the material for a publication. lectures/presentations 67

Cooking as art or the return of the wild pigs | Onno Faller Onno Faller (artist, DE) is working in the fi eld of ‘cooking’. She regards cooking as an art genre like any other, as it deals with materials, combinations of materials, com- positions, proportions, dramaturgies, colours, smells and tastes. In that sense, Faller is not interested in the social and celebratory aspects of the meal, nor in creating extraordinary meals; her work is more about working with basic and classical methods and being able to create messages and expressions within the meal that can be experienced by the eater, mainly perceived through the mouth and the nose. The workshop was about standards of food preparation, related to the different cultural backgrounds of those participating, variations in standards depending on the ingre- dients used and, fi nally, about transforming a whole pig into a dinner for 35 people. Faller was also invited to cook the offi cial dinner at the close of the academic year 2004. That evening’s four-course menu dealt with the subject ‘The landscape of the region of Maastricht’.

Everything must go! | Sebastián Menéndez, Florencia Reina From 2002 to 2004, Sebastián Menéndez and Florencia Reina (researchers Design department) explored different aspects of the graphic image. They created posters, stickers, T-shirts, postcards, websites, invitation cards, maps, music, buttons and a board game. Guests were invited to their open studio, ﬂ ea market and kiosk at studio #208 of the Jan van Eyck Academie.

Flashforward | Eva Meyer and Eran Schaerf “The fi lm’s narrative all starts with a misunderstanding that 68 … casts possibility upon the past. Without knowing what it was, we know how something was said, heard, seen; a love story or a public event. This is the point of departure for a programme that converts fl ashbacks into fl ashforwards. It keeps a space open between memory and hope and seeks a voice for it. Is it a witness, a storyteller, a reporter, their common programmer or a fi gure in the process of switching roles? In order to identify the suspects, a voice check is staged, in which each becomes the extra for the sentences of others. But the moment of recognition reaches its potential in the form of a series – the boundary between the real and the fi ctitious becomes an informative space. When the voice extras abandon their roles in order to synchronise themselves with their own memories, their intervention is not an excursion into their past, which appears to have been reconfi gured. The speech torn from its image reinserts itself through a system of disengagements. Are they perspectives in a love story located in infi nity? The same and yet another.”

Folders. Suits. Pockets. Files. Stocks | Joke Robaard Joke Robaard’s (artist and photographer, NL) work investigates the conﬁ guration of groups of people: friends, colleagues, companies, neighbours. She ‘directs’ individuals and creates patterns, which are subsequently photographed. She uses clothing – she originally trained in fashion – to illustrate connections that are constantly shifting.

Intimate histories of the colour orange: in varying shades of seriousness | Victoria Carolan Victoria Carolan (researcher Theory department) gave a lecture on the colour orange. The presentation gave an overview of the history, placing and interpretation of the colour orange … 69 in colour theories, including optical, psychological and art history perspectives. This was followed by a look at the colour in terms of Dutch national identity, particularly the history of the carrot, bred to be orange by patriotic Dutch in the 1700s. The third section comprised a personal perspective on orange, including a slide show archive of all orange items owned by Carolan.

Meta-Orchestra | Yolande Harris The Meta-Orchestra presented a performance that combined electronic and acoustic sounds, video and live projections. This unusual orchestra focuses on researching the seemingly endless possibilities of collaboration through computer technologies, pushing ideas into practice and combining the natural with the technological, the acoustic with the electronic, the sonic with the visual. The addition of a network layer between the very different individual set-ups of the group provided an apparently common ground for collaboration. A musician can control an image, several musicians can inﬂ uence each other’s sounds; gestures and movements through space can affect the placing of the sound or image in space. The orchestra looked at how to distribute this potential in a performance, how to make visible what is happening and how to combine this layer of networked linkage to the communication layers and roles already existing in a performance group. Their public performance took place in the Klankwerkplaats (sound workshop) of Stichting Intro in Maastricht. The Maastricht meeting was the fourth Meta-Orchestra event, after Dartington (2000), Amsterdam (2001) and Barcelona (2002). Participants of the orchestra were: Guy De Bièvre (B): electric guitar and micro-controllers; Yolande Harris (GB/ NL): sound and video-organ; Bert Bongers (NL): interac- 70 … tivated spaces and video-organ; Hilary Jeffery (GB/NL): tromboscillator; Sebastián Menéndez (AR): graphic design and percussion; Jos Mulder (NL): sound design and net- working; Florencia Reina (AR): graphic design and projections and Cesar Villavicencio (BR/NL): electronic con- trabass recorder. Special guest was Jonathan Impett (GB): meta-trumpet.

Movement | Jellichje Reijnders Jellichje Reijnders (curator, editor Metropolis M, NL) is involved in several projects on contemporary culture, inten- tions, need, processes and context-bound operations. She gave a lecture on her practice.

Ongoing dialogues. Anna Oppermann’s Ensembles and recent art | Ute Vorkoeper A short lecture ﬁ rst introduced German artist Anna Oppermann (1940 – 1993), who developed ‘Ensembles’: conceptual agglomerations of found objects, photographs, drawings, all kind of texts and paintings. The Ensemble process meant breaking up the picture entity; Ensembles are non-linear, repetitive and endless. Oppermann’s intersection of con- ceptuality and process makes her body of work both stand out from and exemplary for 1970s visual art. Afterwards, short texts and statements by Oppermann were read. The subsequent discussion investigated whether and to what extent Oppermann’s artistic practice is still striking for or repeated on a formal as well as on a content level in recent art by Thomas Hirschhorn, Jonathan Meese, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and others.

Opening week 2004 From 13 until 17 January the opening week of the Jan van Eyck Academie took place. All (advising) researchers, 73 … 71 international artists, designers and theoreticians from the Design, Fine Art and Theory departments, presented their research objectives and the productions they wish to set up in the coming academic year. The programme covered lectures, performances, video screenings and visual presentations.

Spark! | Guy De Bièvre, Yolande Harris, Sven Sterken Spark! was a sonic experimentation platform organised by Guy De Bièvre, Yolande Harris and Sven Sterken (researchers Theory department). Its threefold format consisted of an afternoon ‘theoretical’ event, an evening performance/concert/lecture by a guest composer/musician, followed by an open sound lab. As a kick-off for Spark!, on 2 March De Bièvre gave a lecture on the work of Jerry Hunt, which was followed by a concert by Mark Trayle. At a subsequent event, musician and music historian Hans Koch (Cologne, DE) presented a lecture on his practice as composer, music historian and educa- tor. This was followed by a four-part Koch concert. Besides traditional instruments and digital media, Koch uses sounds of everyday tools, like household electronics, hair dryers and old computers. His objective is to explore the boundaries and implicit faults of whichever media he is using, in order to arrive at unpredictable interactions. The next Spark! event, on 21 May, was a lecture by De Bièvre, introducing the Sonic Arts Union. The Sonic Arts Union was a collaborative venture of four composers: Robert Ashley, David Behrman, Alvin Lucier – famous for his musical explorations of acoustic phenomena – and Gordon Mumma. The work of the four members was illustrated through video portraits made by Robert Ashley in the 1970s. This was followed by a concert/performance by Nicolas 72 …

Collins – a pioneer in the use of microcomputers in live performance. Collins has made extensive use of ‘home-made’ electronic circuitry, radio, found sound material, and transformed musical instruments. He is most famous for his work as a ‘hardware hacker’. His recent work emphasises spoken word, and combines idiosyncratic electronics with conventional acoustic instruments. Spark! concluded on 1 July, with a second lecture by De Bièvre on the Sonic Arts Union, now focusing on Gordon Mumma. In the evening, Matt Rogalsky (media artist, CA) and Anne Wellmer (sound artist, NL) gave a presentation and a concert. Rogalsky’s work as a media artist often focuses on exploration of the abject, the invisible and inaudible, or ignored streams of information such as radio silences. Among Wellmer’s work are performances and installations, music theatre pieces and choreographies. She performs as an improvising musician, as a composer and singer, using various electronic instruments.

Tender bodies | James Duesing In 1991 James Duesing made the annals of animation history with his eight-minute Maxwell’s demon. He was the fi rst to make an animated fi lm entirely on a desktop computer, which previously had been done solely on super computers. Duesing is now working on his fi fth animation, called Tender bodies. Like his earlier fi lms, this computer animation presents a dystopian world in which strangely mutant char- acters act out deeply familiar emotions. Anxiety, fear, and desire permeate Duesing’s post-apocalyptic urbanscapes, in which scenes and situations metamorphose with the free- fl oating logic of dreams. With Tender bodies, Duesing has taken up the challenge to make a fi lm without dialogue that transcends language … 73 through visual conveyers. Consumption, public spectacle, metamorphosis and the feared Other are his themes in Tender bodies, which Duesing clarifi ed in his lecture.

The attic / bubblehead / spotter | Tilman Wendland Since graduating in visual communication from the Hochschüle der Künste Berlin in 1999, Tilman Wendland has had several solo and group shows. In his lecture Wendland elaborated on his artist’s practice in general and on his latest work The attic (2004). The attic was a redesign of the top ﬂ oor of De Appel (Amsterdam, NL) according to the different events that took place during the exhibition Quicksand. It was a fragmented recreation of the already existing attic space. The attic integrated an interview corner, an arena of benches, a projection screen displaying a computer-based project, an info lab, a relaxing/reading area with artists’ documentation and the set-up for a game night.

The reverse side of painting: Merleau-Ponty, trompe l’oeil and the phenomenology of deception | Hanneke Grootenboer Hanneke Grootenboer (lecturer and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the department of Art History and Archaeology of Columbia University, US) lectured on the rhetoric of perspective, on realism and illusionism. Her teaching and research interests include: early modern art and art theory of northern Europe, 1400–1700; Dutch 17th century visual culture; optical experiments in Flemish 15th century painting; critical theory; photo realism; the history of art history; perspective and illusionism (anamorphosis; trompe l’oeil; camera obscura, mirrors, lenses, etc.); semiotics of still life; food in art; psychoanalysis; phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty); 74 … rhetoric of the image (Barthes and De Man); Baroque visual rhetoric; late 18th century eye-miniature painting; sexuality, space and gender in early modern visual culture, especially in Annunciation painting.

Tirana: dwalen, dwalen / erreur, erreur | Wim Cuyvers Recent work by Wim Cuyvers (advising researcher Design department) is mainly about ‘reading the city’. Particular cities he has looked at include Belgrade, New York, Paris, Sarajevo and Tirana. In these different cities he is mainly on the lookout for ‘public space’, that is to say, spaces where anyone can do anything at any given moment, or the non- private space, or non-privately owned space, in other words, space that is economically uninteresting. The weak and the vulnerable – junkies, gypsies, homeless people – are seen as the ones who can point us towards the real public space. This non-privatised space is the space of exclusion. Inventories are mainly made while walking through the cities. Cuyvers’ work results in schemes of the various cities, which show how public space is distributed completely differently in different cities: the very outer limit, at the waterfront in Manhattan, where homeless people live, as opposed to the two rivers in the middle of Tirana, used as rubbish-dumps, where gypsies are trying to survive.

Unbearable pleasure of lightness | Monika Bakke Pleasure in contemporary art is under-theorised and often mistakenly limited to entertainment and triviality. It was Monika Bakke’s (researcher Theory department) intention to provide an interpretative methodology and contextual background for a creative analysis of pleasure. Experiencing pleasure in/through art is emancipating … 75 and therefore art involved in the production of pleasure may be seen as an art of resistance. ‘Resistance’ because, as Jean Fisher says, the purpose of this art ‘is no longer to be sought in the grand gesture of revolution, but in the local micro-dis- turbances of guerrilla warfare’ – hit-and-run tactics – one of which is overwhelming laughter or a feeling of joy. The feeling of pleasure is not only inherently critical vis- à-vis traditional structures and codes; it also has a strong creative/constitutive promise for inter-subjectivity. As Emmanuel Levinas claims, ‘one becomes a subject of being not by assuming being, but by the interiorisation of enjoyment’. Therefore, art practices based on exchanging pleasure create subjectivity based on partnership and care, not domination. The experience of pleasure involving full sensual activity can create a demand for the re-conceptualisation of aesthetics by returning to the original meaning of the Greek term ‘aisthesis’ as ‘sensual and pre-conceptual experience that is shared by all of us regardless of race and gender’. Only an aesthetics thus re-conceptualised has a chance to overcome the ocularcentrism and logocentrism. It supports a de-centred art history, welcoming a cultural studies perspective.

Under construction | Ronald Van de Sompel Ronald Van de Sompel (researcher Theory department) sought to reposition Japanese visual arts in relation to their Asian surroundings by means of a case study of Under construction (new dimensions of Asian art), an exhibition project initiated by The Japan Foundation Asia Centre (Tokyo). Under construction studied how Asian professionals observe the diversity of contemporary visual arts in the region and aimed to articulate its conditions in the context of globalisation. Until recently, the history of modernity was 76 lectures/presentations written by western authors who tended to see it exclusive- ly as a western development. Yet, over the last decade there has been a push throughout the region to take back control of its artistic destinies. Accordingly, Under construction was introduced as a new type of collaborative project, involving curators from China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand. The curatorial team collaborated in envisaging different types of ‘local’ exhibitions, lead- ing up to a joint exhibition in Tokyo. A number of related programmes, including a symposium discussing themes of modernity, exhibition practices and representation in Asia, accompanied the project. Van de Sompel focused on the history of the Under construction project through the processes that took place during the discussions, the ﬁ eld researches in Asian cities, and the working seminars. The case study allowed entrance into the broader topic of a ‘mutual gaze’ operating between cultures.

Under hypnosis | Matt Mullican with Joëlle Tuerlinckx The Fine Art department invited Matt Mullican (artist, US) to give a presentation on his oeuvre in general and on his performance Under hypnosis. In his search for ways to order the world, Mullican uses pictograms, symbols and signs, and he has himself hypnotised. In her work Action without knowing: deux ans plus tard Joëlle Tuerlinckx (artist, BE) reacted to Mullican’s presentation. curatorial projects 77

This is not a love letter – fl yer project Seoul | Binna Choi In Korea, fl yers are a highly popular medium for commercial advertising, though notorious among readers. Like love letters, fl yers are sent carefully and secretly. However artistic and appealing they seem in nature and design, when they are delivered, Trojan horse-like, they are perceived as deceit- ful and intrusive. What is more: Seoul is simply swamped by fl yers. Very rarely, though, when not immediately discarded, they may also trigger a critical view of reality in the atten- tive reader, thus generating interaction and encounters. This very love-hate relationship brought together artists and designers who read fl yers as rich texts for the urban situation and its rich social cultural content. The participating artists were asked to redefi ne communication in cities like Seoul by making social issues in the margins of society the subject of the fl yer or by developing new methods and/or styles for the fl yer. They each created a fl yer design, using all different sorts of visual rhetoric, to be randomly inserted into daily newspapers. Min Choi and Sulki Choi (researchers Design department) focused attention on accidental by-standers in news photographs. In this manner, the fl yer pushed readers to question the traditional relationship between photograph and article. Apart from the production of fl yers, the project also comprised an exhibition and a website, which was to serve as a discussion platform. Participants included Manuel Räder (researcher Design department 2001 – 2002), Iratxe Jaio (researcher Fine Art department) in collaboration with Klaas van Gorkum and Florencia Reina and Sebastián Menéndez (researchers Design department 2002 – 2004). 78 curatorial projects

Glaspaleis Heerlen opening programme The Glaspaleis in Heerlen houses various cultural institutions: a library, a museum for modern art, a ﬁ lm house, a school for music and a centre for architecture. In 2003, the glass building by architect Peutz was completely renovated by architects Wiel Arets and Jo Coenen. For the occasion of its ofﬁ cial opening, the Jan van Eyck was approached by the or- ganizers to contribute to the opening programme. In the end, three researchers took part in the opening activities of the Glaspaleis in Heerlen. Robrecht Vanderbeeken (researcher Theory department) put together a video programme, Lucia Macari (researcher Fine Art department) did a performance and Victoria Carolan (researcher Theory department) a photo exhibition. A number of researchers expressed an interest in realising future projects in the Glaspaleis and/or Stadsgalerij. Proposals were submitted by Peggy Buth (researcher Fine Art department), Geoffrey Garrison (researcher Fine Art department), Natascha Hagenbeek (researcher Fine Art department), Yolande Harris (researcher Theory department), Gyan Panchal (researcher Fine Art department) and Stefanie Seibold (researcher Fine Art department). publications 79

– / – / – | Ralph Bauer & Christine Lemke This artist’s book shows a series of 78 images: vague, almost abstract landscapes, laughing and introvert faces, bare arms and legs; they are fragments of one and the same photograph, which, placed in order, tell a new story. On turning the pages, the viewer is asked to use their imagination. Are we looking at a family, come together on a sunny day to have their portrait taken? What are the relationships between the various persons? Where and when was the picture taken? Ralph Bauer’s (researcher Design department) sober design leaves plenty of space for creating one’s own personal story. The poetic text by Christine Lemke (researcher Fine Art department) addresses the interplay between the fragments. – / – / – is about memory, fragmented memory and the use or misuse of images in a society ﬂ ooded by images.

A novel of distractions | Ella Klaschka Ella Klaschka (researcher Design department) made the artist’s book A novel of distractions, in collaboration with artist Ayreen Anastas. In this book Anastas, now based in New York, reacts to Klaschka’s fascination for her place of birth, Bethlehem. In poetic phraseology she describes her school years in this town. She remembers the names of her classmates, the morning prayer, the colour of the clothes then worn. These personal memories have been presented in Klaschka’s handwriting, together with photos Klaschka took of Anastas in various roles and situations, dating from 1999 onwards. Both the subject and the exchange between the two artists suggest A novel of distractions is a unique diary made by an artists’ duo.

Comparing the city | Annelys de Vet Comparing the city was published on the occasion of the 24- 80 … hour meeting Authoring the city, a research project studying urban space as both communication platform and device in September. Comparing the city captures the many histories and stories of city dwellers both as spectators and narrators and traces the meeting and dividing lines of Maastricht and Seoul, Houston, New York, Warsaw, Bratislava, Basel, Amsterdam, Ghent and Brussels respectively.

D | Yane Calovski A new international magazine was produced at the Jan van Eyck: D. The pilot issue of this full-colour, English-language magazine D was entirely dedicated to drawing: indeed, ‘D’ stands for ‘drawing’. Compiler Calovski (researcher Fine Art department) invited various international artists and theoreticians to contribute to this fi rst issue, including Norman Bryson, Jeroen Cremers, Mariana Castillo Deball & Manuel Räder, Raimundas Malasauskas, Richard Torchia, Gaku Tsutaya, Francisco Valdes and many more. D combines historical and contemporary drawings with critical essays, inspiring interviews and inviting proposals for exhibitions. Text and image complement each other. The texts reveal how drawings are looked at in general, while at the same time encouraging an experimental approach to the medium. Within the highly crafted yet sober design by Melissa Gorman, the drawings themselves are shown to their full advantage. This pilot issue mainly contains fi gu- rative drawings, referring either to existing images in the media, fi lm or art history, or to fantasy stories grounded in bodily experience. The editorial concept of D, however, will be fl exible. Now and in the future, the magazine addresses the broad fi eld of drawing, ranging from scientifi c documentation to architectural speculation and autobiographical expression. … 81

Entre Deux | Lieven De Boeck & John Murphy Lieven De Boeck (researcher Fine Art department) and John Murphy (advising researcher Fine Art department) put together a publication on the history of the Bonnefantenmuseum, focusing on the period when it was housed in the Entre Deux building in the centre of Maastricht. The researchers speciﬁ cally investigate traces (of the aura) of the artwork in an exhibition space. Thus, traces of exhibitions of Daniel Buren and Imi Knoebel are still visible in the Entre Deux building. In the booklet photographs from exhibitions and an inventory of all exhibitions organised in the Entre Deux are alternated with quotes from Alexander van Grevenstein (director Bonnefantenmuseum) and Aldo Rossi (architect of the new Bonnefantenmuseum) and maps of both the old and the new museum building. The publication was realised in the framework of the Entre Deux project. From April to December 2003 the Entre Deux was available to researchers of the Jan van Eyck as a free space.

Patterns and forms from former socialist countries. A fi lm by Ella Klaschka | Ella Klaschka Certain aesthetic characteristics of socialist culture are still visible in the streets and day-to-day life of Eastern Europe, such as decorative fi gures in architecture, geometric patterns on fabrics and rhythmic motives on paper objects. Where did these often abstract elements originate and why were they so often applied in the Eastern bloc countries? These were some of the questions Ella Klaschka posed herself, when she undertook fi ve journeys to the northern, middle and southern part of Eastern Europe in 2003. During these trips she as- sembled an elaborate collection of video and photographic 82 publications images of patterns and ornaments, held interviews with cos- tume designers, art historians, musicians and the like and wrote down her thoughts and experiences during the journeys. These different sources of information fi nally formed the basis for an artist’s book – instead of the fi lm that was originally planned. Patterns and forms from former socialist countries. A fi lm by Ella Klaschka is a wayward travelogue about making a fi lm. The texts have been written and edited in various phases. Additions and editorial changes have been visualised in the design: phrases have been marked, crossed out or given another colour. The different levels thus revealed show how a personal fascination for socialist imagery gradually led to an artistic publication. publications in production 83

A dummy book | Gyan Panchal Gyan Panchal (researcher Fine Art department) has been collecting material with a view to making a dummy book. The book is something between a catalogue and an artist’s book. Its objective is to refl ect on the medium of the book and to explore the boundaries of the book. The book consists of four parts: four cahiers made of different types of paper and bound without cover. The fi rst part focuses on ‘the making of the book’. All sorts of editorial and production choices which featured during the making of the book, but which were not always applied, still become subject of the book. In other words, the fi rst part is a visual refl ection on the making of the publication. The second part comprises images of work realised by Panchal at the Jan van Eyck over the past two years. The third part consists of interviews in English and French between Panchal and an art historian, critic and artist. The interviews are about the development of Panchal’s work and try to chart the context of the work. The last part is a compi- lation of mainly Internet images, used by Panchal as reference material for his work. They are traces of an artistic process. The project investigates how a sketchbook can be designed on purpose, whereas normally this comes into being at random or subconsciously. The way in which art is usually represented in books is parodied in this publication.

Cosmopolitics of Kant, Lévi-Strauss and Derrida | Sybrandt van Keulen Sybrandt van Keulen (researcher Theory department 2001 – 2002) has written a book on the cosmopolitics of Kant, Lévi-Strauss and Derrida and the ways they are related. Van Keulen did research into the decentring of the transcendental subject and the deconstructive hegemony in Kantian logics 84 … and the concept of reciprocity. He studied the autobiographical narratives and others texts by Lévi-Strauss to get a grasp of the references to and criticism of Kant. He further considered what the aesthetical, ethical and political consequences are of structural anthropology, using Kant’s Critique of practical reason and Critique of judgment as basic texts. The Jan van Eyck Academie supports the book’s publication with a symbolic amount of money.

Information design | Min Choi & Sulki Choi In recent years, there has been a growing tendency to appropriate the form and apparatus of information design in the broader fi eld of graphic design – but not necessarily for its original purposes. What then is the function of, say, the apparently scientifi c diagrams appearing on MTV? What does it mean to have beautifully designed statistical graphs, not the usual spectacular photographs of buildings, on the opening pages of a book about a prominent architect? How do the ironically elegant diagrams in an Adidas advertisement help sell its sneakers? How should we comprehend a piece of underwear on which the subway map of a city is proudly printed? Min Choi and Sulki Choi would like to address these and other related questions through an anthology of writings, which will investigate the complex aspects of ‘information design’, the design of charts, graphs, diagrams and maps. Critical refl ection on information design has a long history: perhaps as long as the history of the graph itself. Thus, its persuasive functions were explored by Robin Kinross in the essay The rhetoric of the neutrality (1984). Min Choi and Sulki Choi, for their part, want to prob- lematise the very ethical premise of information design by investigating diverse ways in which information graphics in the … 85

‘real world’ operate: not only to communicate information objectively, but also to persuade an audience as a rhetorical device; to tell stories as an editorial tool; to conﬁ rm existing cultural hegemonies as an authoritative representation; and to invoke associations as a graphic style.

Interlude: the reader’s traces | Mariana Castillo Deball Readers who are asleep, bent forward, heads touching books. Worktables covered with opened books, note pads, laptops and pens. Traces that are left in books: a scrap of paper to mark a page, a comment in the margin, coffee spill. Artist Mariana Castillo Deball (researcher Fine Art department 2002 – 2003) took these photographs in libraries in Berlin, New York and Paris. Fascinated by the ways in which information is ordered and classifi ed, Castillo Deball investigated how these library collections are used. Not only did she document the uses through photographic reportage, she also made some changes to the collections. She asked artists, designers, writers and theoreticians to write texts and design images that she hid in various books: a leather marker for the books that gave Frankenstein’s hideous creature a sense of culture, non-ex- posed photographic paper for publications on mathematics, a fairy tale for the Thousand and one nights. She left traces of her own by recording the entire project on microfi lm and including it in the existing microfi lm collection. It will be by sheer chance that someone discovers the added texts and images and the microfi lms. In her idiosyncratic way Castillo Deball brings into focus the limits of systematic classifi cation. The artist’s book Interlude: the reader’s traces binds the photographic reportage, the photographs of the microfi lms and the ‘traces’ that were designed to this project’s end. To 86 … come full circle, the book is to be part of the collections of the libraries Castillo Deball conducted her research in.

The open city or the urban logic of capitalism | BAVO The Third Way is a global movement dedicated to modern- ising progressive politics in the information age. It is an ideology that combines the social-democratic politics of well- being with neo-liberal, pragmatic marketing techniques. Precursors of the Third Way are politicians such as Blair, Clinton, Kok, Schröder and Verhofstadt. Third Way politics focuses on urbanism and the city, on security, integration, et cetera. Third Way Urbanism is not just fl ourishing on an institutional-political level, non-governmental planning bureaus, architects and artists are also increasingly using this ideological discourse, whether they are conscious of doing so, or not. Supporters of Third Way Urbanism invest in already strong social developments, instead of weaker developments. They claim that the presence of a powerful, dynamic and moneyed population in the city has a positive infl uence on the weaker segments of urban economy and for marginalised groups of the population: prostitutes, illegal immigrants, inhabitants of problem areas. According to BAVO the relationship between Third Way Urbanism and those in the margins of society is quite relevant. On the one hand, because important decisions about these groups of the population are made within this conceptual context, and on the other, because urban margin- al fi gures are an ideal starting point for an ideology critique on Third Way Urbanism. In the manuscript BAVO investigated how the neo-progressive discourse of the Third Way manifests itself in contemporary planning interventions in the metropolis, how … 87 this relates to marginalised outcasts of the city and how cultural producers themselves offer concrete and creative Third Way solutions to city managers and project developers in the capitalist city. Is there an alternative architecture and culture conceivable, a form that leaves behind the generally ac- cepted Third Way? The book offers an analysis of various Third Way solutions that have been proposed in European metropoles vis-à-vis the problems of the outcast population.

What are you doing? | Robrecht Vanderbeeken Robrecht Vanderbeeken intends to publish a series of essays by invited authors in which these authors reﬂ ect on human conduct in video art. The link between the videos is the question ‘What are you doing?’. In a narrative, conceptual and experimental manner certain actions, such as doing nothing on purpose, absurd behaviour, a symbolic interaction, emotional behaviour, are expressed in the videos. The authors do not review the videos, but describe what unfolds on the screen. Invited authors are: Sjoerd van Tuinen on Wim Catrysse: Tied (2001); Bert Bultinck on Pieter De Buysser: Solar (2001); Dominiek Hoens on Alexis Destoop: With Usura (2002); Tom Rummens on Monsieur Delmotte: Sapin! (1999), Bike (2000), a.o.; Rudi Laermans on Rod Dickinson & Steve Rushton: The Milgram re-enactment (2002); Piet Joostens on Nicolas Dufranne: Moi, mon frère, la ﬁ lle (2001); Lieven Jonckheere on Cel Gabreels: Slave unit (2003); Katrien Vuylsteke on Dora Garcia: The breathing lesson (2001); Peter Verhelst on Nicolas Provost: Papillon d’amour (2002); Karel Boullart on Heimir Björgúlfsson: All is wonderful (2002); Laurent Liefooghe on Ana Torfs & Jane Sterback: Conditions (1995). 88 publications in production

When the story fi nishes, light sadness grasps me | Doris Lasch & Ursula Ponn During their stay at the Jan van Eyck, Doris Lasch and Ursula Ponn (researchers Fine Art department) have realised photographic work and cinematic installations. They now wish to examine the relationship between fi lm and photography in a publication. This book will be used as a medium to research the relationships between image, space and time. The entire book shows a fi lmic transference from one image to the next, causing connections to be made which otherwise would not be possible. Quite clearly, the book will not be a catalogue. This is also refl ected in the feel of the publication. A minimal design and a handy format will make it into a non- exclusive object, suitable for distribution on a larger scale. In the fi rst part of the book a wide range of photos of installations and interiors are alternated with drawings, fi lm and video stills, works by Lasch and Ponn. This network of images examines the experience and representation of space. In the second part of the book, the pictures are placed in a linear, chronological order, as in fi lm. Finally, some pages will contain literary or poetic texts. Although these texts are conceived as being autonomous, links between text and images in the book could be considered. Discrepancies or overlaps between text and images could offer the reader new angles for reading the book. time-based productions 89

Jan van Eyck website | Min Choi & Sulki Choi The new Jan van Eyck Academie website was launched last September, with the emphasis on a swifter and more effective presentation of academy activities. The site was designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi (researchers Design department). The basic principle behind its lay-out is that it has been arranged according to the ‘Korean-style all-dishes-at-once-on- the-table’ model, rather than following the ‘Western-style three-course meal’ idea. The information is organised in such a way that the content can be browsed without requiring going through a great deal of pages.

Hortus inclusus | Ralph Bauer The title, Hortus inclusus, is a pun on the term hortus con- clusus, the medieval enclosed garden. Hortus inclusus will be packaged in a small bag, identical to the ones we know from seed sales in shops and garden centres. The front of this standard seed package normally shows the ideal fruit or plant, for instance the fat red tomato you get after sowing the seeds according to the instructions on the back of the bag. However, whoever buys a Hortus inclusus will not buy seeds of a plant or ﬂ ower: they will buy a complete garden. The front of the bag will describe the garden: the hanging gardens of Babylon, the gardens of Versailles, Paradise and Utopia. On the back you can read the sowing instructions. It is not, however, revealed which type of plant(s) are in the bag. You are sowing a name and thus provoking certain images, while the contents of the garden are not formally known, the expecta- tions and connotations of the consumer are being toyed with. Ralph Bauer has found a producer and distributor who will, along with the Jan van Eyck, support his project. 90 …

I just saved your life | David Küenzi David Küenzi (researcher Fine Art department), together with artist Eleonora Meier (artist, CH), made a twenty- minute fi lm featuring teenagers from South Limburg sec- ondary schools. These had all been drawn in by the invitation to star in a movie. Indeed, one of the starting points of I just saved your life is the play with the desire of teenagers to become unique and extraordinary personalities. Set against these anticipations, the fact that all of them could actually participate and that there were no ‘real roles’ to act out may have disappointed the young wannabe actors. Instead, Küenzi and Meier engaged the adolescents to perform neutral yet distorted, isolated dialogues from existing movies. The fi lm was shot in the setting of a deserted exhibition space in the Entre Deux. All parts were performed in English, in order to unfold the use of a foreign language as a form of aspiration and also to remain truthful to the original source of these quotations – again with slight distortions. The result is a slightly surreal spectacle of youngsters attempting to render – as convincingly as possible – their given charac- ters. The adolescent quest for one’s own identity, an answer to the question ‘Who am I?’ is thus subtly mirrored in this artistic production. The premiere of Jan van Eyck production I just saved your life took place in (art) fi lm theatre Lumière in Maastricht.

Me, the big bad wolf and the radical sense of freedom | Johanna Kirsch What will happen to me if I have enough time, money and a van, travelling without company, aim or pre-planned route? With these questions in mind, Johanna Kirsch (researcher Fine Art department) started touring Europe in the summer of 2003, heading for the sunshine, looking for freedom. Out … 91 of sheer necessity, the big bad wolf became her loyal com- panion. They drove on motorways for hours, in their yellow Volkswagen van, occasionally stopping at a beach or camp- site. Kirsch’s funny animations refl ect on their meetings and experiences. The adventure reached a low point when a planned meeting ended in a fi asco and the van broke down. This ‘crisis’ also changes the vein of the fi lm. In the end, Kirsch put ‘fi nding’ aside and resigned herself to ‘searching’.

Radio programme | Natascha Hagenbeek, Lina Issa, Iratxe Jaio Within the framework of the end of the year events, three researchers of the Fine Art department did a live radio broadcast. The programme presented songs, interviews with researchers, favourite songs of the Jan van Eyck community. The radio show was transmitted at the Jan van Eyck Academie.

Revisited: 24 houses | Sarah Leisdovich The fi lm documentary Revisited: 24 houses shows the doz- ens of houses in which Sarah Leisdovich’s father lived the past twenty years. By alternately fi lming the interiors and exteriors of the houses, Leisdovich (researcher Theory department 2002 – 2003) not only charted the nomadic existence of her father, but also her own memories connected to the various locations. Yet, Revisited: 24 houses is more than an autobiographical documentary. Fictive elements crept into the fi lm due to experimentation with natural sound and voice-overs and the alternation between digital and Super-8 techniques. In that sense, the project was also a research into fi lm as a medium in general and, more specifi cally, into the generation of meaning and interpretation during the production process. 92 time-based productions

12 tongues | Annette Stahmer 12 tongues is a composition of video clips showing a ‘virtual speech ballet’ about nearness and distance, contact and loneliness, understanding and misunderstanding. Annette Stahmer (researcher Design department) asked twelve (advising) researchers of the Jan van Eyck Academie to answer a list of questions in their mother tongues (Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish) and in their own way of speaking. Their personal language patterns provided the text material for 12 tongues. The answers to the questions were written on white paper reel-out whistles. In 120 short videoclips the speakers were blowing into these ‘tongues’, ﬁ lling their words with air and letting them unroll in the writing direction of the language. Watching the video, you hear the crackling of the paper. 12 tongues plays with a poetical cross-over between spoken and written language, a materialised – visible and tangi- ble – spoken language with a taste of paper, a language which is blown out and transformed into an object outside of the speaker. It addresses the loss of material and touch in virtual communication, the contradiction between linguistic intimacy and spatial distance. At the same time, 12 tongues plays with religious images like the miracle of Whitsun, the linguistic confusion or speaking in tongues. upcoming time-based productions 93

Designing truth | Hinrich Sachs In collaboration with Casco, a platform for experimental art in Utrecht (NL), Hinrich Sachs (advising researcher Fine Art department) is in the process of realising the video production Designing truth. Digital images of the invisible. A portrait of the structural biologist Ansgar Philippsen. Ansgar Philippsen developed a computer programme, DINO, which visualises molecules. Sachs interviews the biologist while he is working with the programme. The video does not only contain the interview, but also the real-time images which at that point in time appear on Philippsen’s computer screen. The entirety of natural images and computer images and the ongoing interview will be edited, experi- mentally, into a story. The fi lm will be shown on a television, which refers to the place of birth of the nano-world: the computer screen. The angle of this video is an examination into the context and interpretation of contemporary scientifi c imagery. Do visualisation technologies and biological knowledge infl u- ence each other? If so, how? How do design qualities and the personal preferences of the computer programmer infl uence the visualisation and thus possibly scientifi c fi ndings and conclusions? Based on what signs or conditions can nano- images, which are invisible to the human eye, be called true and realistic? In one sense, Designing truth refl ects on the way meaning is being constructed by the media. The Philippsen portrait is part of a series of portrayals Sachs has made of non-artists who produce images in their professional capacity. The portraits vary in format: an exhibition, a redecoration of public space, a publication.

Camoufl age comics | Aarnoud Rommens Aarnoud Rommens (researcher Theory department) has 94 … approached Bert Balcaen and Ingrid Stojnic (researchers Design department) about the design of a Spanish and English language website, that will refl ect in text and images on the cultural practices during the Argentine Dirty War, the dictatorship of 1976 – 1983, and afterwards. He wants to investigate how the comic strip – traditional print work – could be published in a virtual environment, on the web, without diminishing the specifi city of the medium. Questions about censorship, democracy and the heritage of the junta will be approached from the angle of the comic strip, because this was a fringe medium during the regime, and it could dodge censorship to a certain extent. At fi rst sight, the images in those comic strips look innocent. They seem in line with authoritarian policy. However, the critical meaning of the images has been camoufl aged in several ways and the reader/viewer has to try and decode these hidden meanings. The act of deciphering makes the reader/viewer an accessory to the true signifi cance of the comic strip. According to Rommens, complicity on this level compen- sated for the people’s complicity in the fascist regime. Thus, Rommens refers to the concept of percepticide: the fact that a population is witness to terror, yet does not acknowledge it and even turns a blind eye. In other words, through the act of decoding the meaning of the comic strip, the readers/viewers are confronted with their silent complicity in the dictatorship. On the website Rommens wishes to research this paradoxical concept of percepticide further. In doing so, he will explain the different tactics that are used to camoufl age the meaning in a comic strip and he will present unconventional readings of the comic strips. The website will also host a discussion forum. Its aim is to instigate a discussion between the Jan van Eyck researchers and the contributing Argentine upcoming time-based productions 95 theoreticians and artists. Apart from essays, the website will comprise hundreds of comic strips by contemporary graphic artists, which have been made as reactions to the comic strips made during the Argentine dictatorship. 96 awards

Best Annual Report 2004 The Jan van Eyck Academie was among the prizewinners for the Best Annual Reports 2004. The Annual Report 2003, designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi, was selected out of 99 other reports. The report was praised because of its ‘sound typography, interesting choice of paper and nice illustrations. However, the Jan van Eyck Report could not be called very inviting: not to put too ﬁ ne a point on it: it is boring – purely reporting – but it is very beautifully boring. A bit more could have been done, or perhaps even somewhat less. For those who love aus- terity, it is bang on target.’ Furthermore, the jury concluded that the nine selected annual reports indicated that ‘it is only a small group of cli- ents, writers, designers and other professionals and experts who deliver good results.’ It turns out that the best annual reports were from organisations which had their reports awarded in previous years, too. This also applied to the Jan van Eyck: the 2001 Annual Report, designed by Christos Lialios, received the designation ‘Best Annual Report’ in 2002.

Daniel Gil Prize The book Diagonal by Danné Ojeda (researcher Theory department 2001 – 2002) was nominated for the Daniel Gil Prize for editorial design in the category ‘book designs’. This prize is awarded by the periodical Revista Visual (Barcelona, ES), which specialises in graphic design, crea- tivity and communication.

Prix de Rome 2004 Mariana Castillo Deball (researcher Fine Art 2002–2003) won the ﬁ rst prize of the Prix de Rome 2004 for Drawing and Graphics. Apart from receiving the prize money of €20,000, awards 97

Castillo Deball was also given an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The prize was awarded by Medy van der Laan, State Secretary of Culture and Media, at the Stedelijk Museum. After the ofﬁ cial award ceremony the exhibition showing the work of the four winners of the Prix de Rome opened to the public. Other prizewinners were Derk Thijs, Anant Joshi and Marijn van Kreij. This was the second time in a row an ex-researcher of the Jan van Eyck Academie won the Prix de Rome. In 2003 Ryan Gander (researcher Fine Art department 1999 – 2000) also won the Prix de Rome. 98 … … 99 100 … … 101 102 … … 103 104 … … 105 106 … 107

Koen Brams | 1964 | BE Together with Dirk Pültau, current editor-in-chief of the Belgian art periodical De Witte Raaf, Koen Brams worked on several research projects that ﬁ t in the context of an umbrella project relating to an alternative history of art in Belgium since about the seventies. This included examining the cliché that contemporary Belgian artists are all cousins of Ensor, Magritte and Broodthaers, considering the popularisation of contemporary art in Belgium, focusing on the speciﬁ c role played by Jan Hoet, former curator of the S.M.A.K., the Museum of Contemporary Art in Ghent, and continuing research on the mediatisation of art, focusing on the television work of Jef Cornelis. Brams also explored the nature and the essence of ‘artistic research’. Projects — On the television work of Jef Cornelis. Brussels, BE: Argos; Maastricht, NL: Jan van Eyck Academie.

Orla Barry | 1969 | IE Orla Barry centres her practice on language, written and spoken. Her work is strongly poetic and lyrical. Much of Barry’s photographic and video work, her performances and her text and sound installations search for the place where myth, memory and a robust and sensual physical reality intersect. By using several forms of address Barry invents a ﬁ ction of multiple ‘I’s’ that enriches our understanding of the unﬁ xed, multiple nature of identity. Exhibitions — Year X. (29 January – 18 April).

Armando Andrade Tudela | 1975 | PE Armando Andrade Tudela has been developing the idea of ‘units of information’. These are surfaces or modules of information that ﬂ ow through different aspects of culture: history, architecture, vernacular paraphernalia, and the like. He has further focused on several ways in which aspects of modernity and contemporary culture have been assimilated and un- derstood in Peru. The units of information he uses become a ﬂ exible, dynamic and extendible platform of dialogue. Exhibitions — Arte joven. Lima, PE: Centro Cultural de la Universidad Catolica. — Camion.

Peggy Buth | 1969 | DE Taking her work Recall as a starting point, Peggy Buth worked with different media, transforming various forms and subsequently relating them to one another. She was interested in the developing ‘body’ – the relationship between equality and value within a construct or a production. Objects thus developed can be described within an everchanging, transforming order, waiting for their assignment of meaning, or signiﬁ - 118 … cation. Buth thus aimed to produce a kind of ‘contra-story’, which repeals a ﬁ xed structure or evokes a different order. Exhibitions — Red. (15 January – 22 February). With Ulrike Kolb & Andreas Schulze.

Yane Calovski | 1973 | MK Yane Calovski speculates about the way images are perceived, the morphing process through which they go when becoming anecdotal to others. Calovski is interested in how images can evaporate under the weight of their own immateriality until they are submitted to further scrutiny, a process similar to that of an initiation. Once identiﬁ ed, such images need to be readjusted upon the weight of their accidental, yet intended potential. Calovski was initiator of D magazine, which is concerned with drawing.

Geoffrey Garrison | 1978 | US The John Huston fi lm Freud: The Secret Passion is an ambitious attempt to dramatize, on screen, the thought process that led to the major concepts of psychoanalysis. Geoffrey Garrison wanted to build a new fi lm around discarded elements of the original, working through the layers of material edited out, erased, forgotten and repressed. He meant to reveal another, hidden, narrative, dealing with the traces of Freud within popular imagination, with fi ction, memory, and history, and with the unavoidable complexities of translation and communication.

Natascha Hagenbeek | 1970 | NL In her work, Natascha Hagenbeek ‘collects’ people, whom she refers to as collaborators on authenticity. Working in partnership with them, she tries to create a context to re- deﬁ ne their narratives in public space.

Lina Issa | 1981 | LB Through performance, video and public interventions, Lina Issa carried out research into the transitional, ‘picnoleptic moment’: a moment in which perception is severed from normal, linear time, and experienced as ‘lapses’ or ‘absences’. Issa is intrigued by the ‘unrepresentability’ of these moments and perception during them. She aimed to stretch such moments outside a regular time trajectory, to have longer periods ‘outside this body’, outside language and culture. 122 …

Alevtina Kakhidze | 1973 | UA Alevtina Kakhidze’s art has two directions: while being very individual and closely related to her own world and personality, it also explores surroundings in an almost anonymous way.

Johanna Kirsch | 1980 | AT Johanna Kirsch starts her artistic venture from a subjective point of view and explores and rearranges medial realities. She analyses concepts such as autonomy, freedom and identity and the fl exibility of the borders defi ning these concepts. She uses strategies such as sampling, restructur- ing, inverting, magnifying, and minimising. She uses the … 125 fragments that spring from these analyses to generate a reality of her own by painting, drawing, video, animation, performance and installation. She built a spaceship, which became a fl ight simulator. She made small handbooks through which she defi nes herself. Her works are self-portraits in the broadest sense. She creates workable and valid strategies for self-defi nition and self-determination. Curatorial works — No risk no glory. (2 – 26 June). Organised by Heeresbäckerei-kultur.

Doris Lasch | 1972 | DE Doris Lasch collaborates with Ursula Ponn. See Doris Lasch & Ursula Ponn for their joint CV.

Doris Lasch & Ursula Ponn Their work is a process that starts off with the ordinary: a place, a situation, a movement or an image. They question the act of looking and attempt to extract the very fragile moments on the borderline of signifi cance. In their instal- … 127 lations Doris Lasch and Ursula Ponn mostly use fi lm and video. The installations, adapted to the space, focus more on a pictorial relationship, rather than on a fi lm-like construction. Perception to Lasch and Ponn is personal and fragmentary.

Christine Lemke | 1967 | DE Working with textual forms allows Christine Lemke to trace a ‘self’ or a pattern of a ‘self’ that evolves along textual structures. It is a ‘self’ that confuses inner and outer spaces. It blends senses with visuals, commercials with experience, friends with actors. Lemke considers her work an analysis, a way of re-enacting and a poetical appropria- tion of the phenomena we are surrounded by and live with: images, patterns, formats, programmes, surfaces, interiors and environments.

Lucia Macari | 1974 | MD Inspired by the cross-pollination of a variety of sources, including classical and avant-garde music, Dada and Neo-Dada manifestations and electronic technology, Lucia Macari has explored the ﬁ elds of sound and image, resulting in a series of installations, video, and performances. Her current – rather more personal – work created an artistic opinion about either forgotten or forbidden subjects, scenes and people from contemporary life, using classical visual and audio methods used in rap culture.

Gyan Panchal | 1973 | FR Gyan Panchal’s work focuses on the signs and materials that surround the contemporary environment, which more or less materialise the way we think and behave. The making and the use of standard materials are queried by producing ‘abstract’ works in which the original material is diverted and its context questioned. The process of its making may be examined so as to suggest a different approach to its production. The purpose is not to add a new form to the function, but to reconsider the very notion of work.

Francisco Valdes | 1968 | CL Francisco Valdes wanted to explore to what degree the global economic system is dealing with and collapsing the fi ctional character of reproductive technologies. Flow and disembed- dedness are two of the key concepts. In relation to this, he aimed to link disparate specialisms through networks and fl ows of people, images, goods and ideas. Technological and artistic modes of production, after all, can no longer be studied as binary concepts. His sources were Latin American domestic videos and fi lms and popular images of consumption such as banners and advertisements resembling global corporations and brands. Exhibitions — Fantasmatic.

Kasper Andreasen | 1979 | DK Kasper Andreasen started off by doing research in the framework of the research project Micropolis. For more information, see the project description in the Portfolio of this annual report. In his subsequent research he focused on map- making and the idea of conceptualizing space. It centred round the structure of printed matter and paper as a medium. Inherently, his projects all deal with the representation of space as a kind of personal documentation and interpretation of a person’s whereabouts in location and time. Projects — Micropolis .

Ralph Bauer | 1968 | DE Ralph Bauer is fascinated by the possibility of creating a kind of artistic interaction between books – individual scientifi c works on a specifi c theme, for instance, relate to each other and cannot exist without one another. He believes that the book as a fi eld of experimentation is on the increase, opening up possibilities for new means of expression and new contents. This is why he wanted to develop a series of independent books, which, taken together, tell an overlapping story from different perceptions. Organised events — Cooking, a genre. (26 – 29 February).

Dominique Callewaert | 1972 | BE Dominique Callewaert took a conceptual look at program- ming environments, from simple text editors to visual languages. He did research into design patterns and modelling languages. From this research he wanted to derive visual metaphors to clarify abstractions in object-oriented program- ming, aimed at people who have no IT-background, wishing to create small applications.

Min Choi | 1971 | KR Min Choi’s main research interest entailed investigating ‘uncanny’ spatial experiences and particularly the role of graphic design in shaping, mediating, and representing those experiences. Choi aimed to construct a convincing ‘conspiracy theory’ regarding the uncanny locales in and around Maastricht, by means of writing and design. The design project attempted to implement and deploy a set of graphic devices at the sites that might trigger cryptographic imaginations and interpretations. The textual layer added to the existing built environments was meant to produce a new reading of the space, and to superimpose a ﬁ ctional space on the actual one.

Sulki Choi | 1977 | KR As part of Micropolis, Sulki Choi’s project focused on developing a ‘cartographic’, data-driven approach to identity design, allowing the city’s identity to organically emerge from its material activities. The research examined, ﬁ rst, how the statistic facts related to the dynamic aspects of the city and, secondly, how the results of quantitative visual analysis could inform the more qualitative elements of visual design, such as image properties, colour values and the density of a pattern.

They could thus render a more factitious or ﬁ ctional approach to the tale. In his view, revisions of the tale produce intervals and multiplicities that ask for karmic response, since karma, in its original sense, was about the present moment being shaped both by past and by present actions. This constant opening up for present input into the causal process makes free will possible. Presentations — [Untitled]. In: Opening week 2004. (13 – 17 January).

Norman Bryson | 1949 | GB Norman Bryson’s current concern in research is with areas of visual culture that tend to be overlooked or ignored in art history and art criticism. In this context, Bryson has investigated the genre of still life, Japanese visual culture and drawing. Another interest of Bryson’s was the use of photographic archives in 20th century art. He especially wanted to understand the role played by the idea of ‘archive’ in Surrealism, in post–minimalist work, and in ‘tableau’ photography.

Zafer Aracagök | 1960 | TR Zafer Aracagök studies the question of the immediate since the nineteenth century and the ways to relocate the immediate with respect to a philosophy of music. He further studies resonance and event in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The emergence of Deleuzian philosophy can be seen as a new attempt to theorise the immediate after Nietzsche. After tracing the question of the immediate in Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, he endeavours to develop an approach to these problems in Deleuzian philosophy along well-established lines.

Monika Bakke | 1967 | PL Monika Bakke’s main goal is to provide an interpretative methodology and contextual background for a creative analysis of pleasure. The experience of pleasure, involving full sensual activity, can create a demand for the reconceptualisation of aesthetics by returning to the original meaning of the Greek term ‘aisthesis’ as the ‘sensual and pre-conceptual experience that is shared by all of us regardless of race and gender’. Only an aesthetics thus reconceptualised can overcome the ocularcentrism and logocentrism prevalent in art history. Lectures/presentations — Unbearable pleasure of lightness. (12 March).

BAVO (Gideon Boie & Matthias Pauwels) BAVO has focused on the intersection between architecture and politics in general, and the spatial and physical status of the illegal refugee in the Netherlands in particular. In that context, BAVO has turned to Third Way Urbanism for possible solutions. This global movement, dedicated to modern- ising progressive politics in the information age, combines the social-democratic politics of well-being with neo-liberal, pragmatic marketing techniques. According to BAVO the relationship between Third Way Urbanism and those in the margins of society is very relevant. In its manuscript The open city or the urban logic of capitalism BAVO analyses various Third Way urban solutions vis-à-vis the problems of the outcast population in the European metropolis. It poses the question what architects and urbanists can do to develop into a progressive cultural power. Projects — The spectre of the avant-garde. Maastricht, NL: Jan van Eyck Academie.

Guy De Bièvre | 1961 | BE Guy De Bièvre searched for steady identiﬁ able pitch in the urban soundscape and for methods to approach, analyse, categorise and appreciate it. One research outcome was to query contemporary musical aesthetics. Removed from its environment, the urban sound recording becomes an autonomous sonic object, which De Bièvre tends to approach with a musical bias, in spite of its accidental character. He then applied the methodology that grew out of the ﬁ rst (phenom- enological) phase of the research onto those contemporary musical products, for which conventional musical analysis methods are usually irrelevant.

Victoria Carolan | 1968 | GB Using and combining different methodologies of contemporary theory, historical research, photography and creative writing, Victoria Carolan seeks to explore and rethink the meaning and concept of ‘maritime’ and how it is internalized and externalized as a cultural and aesthetic identity.

Ole Frahm | 1967 | DE Ole Frahm compared two modern media that seem incom- parable: radio and comics. In spite of their different materiality and the notion of materiality they produce, Frahm wanted to examine how they are related. The German concept of Zerstreuung, which combines the meanings diffusion, dispersal and entertainment, aptly describes several aspects of both media: the Zerstreuung of the voice through radio and the Zerstreuung of the signs in comics produce both a discourse on the position of the subject, and the need for re- ﬂ ection on their different ‘materiality’.

Yolande Harris | 1975 | GB Yolande Harris’ research project carried the umbrella title Score spaces. Her research investigated understandings of the relations between sound, place and image in a tech- nologically extended environment. It included The studio score space, where she experimented with extending the space through image projections, sound, sensors, to explore ideas of intimacy and inhabitation in a score space and The video walks, where the walker is the central ﬁ gure carrying a portable projector and a sound source. These walks particularly addressed the dynamic relation between the images and sounds and their passage through internal and external spaces. There was also the group-networked score space, already partly explored by the Meta-Orchestra, encompass- ing the ﬂ exibilities and changeability of an idiosyncratic group. Projects — Spark! .

Johannes Porsch | 1970 | AT Johannes Porsch intended to establish a space of articulation between Inferno, a ﬁ lm by the Italian ‘Giallo’ genre director Dario Argento, and passages from Mark Wigley’s Derrida’s haunt: architecture and deconstruction. The ﬁ lm stages a gory tale by means of image and sound that the book structur- ally investigates by means of theory, using a practice of concepts: procedures of inscription, exertion and simultaneous coverage of violence within and through architecture. Both excavate this foundation of architecture and both unsettle it. Porsch wished to discover what linking these two would render: what would it do to their meaning? What kind of architecture would be fabricated? Exhibitions — Papiers divers et dérivés. (10 December 2004 – 30 January 2005). Liège, BE: Galerie Nadja Vilenne. Lectures/presentations — How to live.

Sven Sterken | 1975 | BE Sven Sterken investigated muzak, or background music, which is extensively used in so-called ‘non-places’. In general, muzak is about atmosphere, either brightening or softening the environment, and in doing so, ‘creating experiences with audio-architecture’. Embedded in a historical and theoretical framework concerning the ‘archaeology of multimedia’, Sterken’s research project particularly focused on the use of 180 … sound as an architectural parameter and on developing some considerations on the notion of soundscape.

INSTITUTE 238 policy bodies_board

General The Jan van Eyck Academie Foundation is supervised by a board. Composition In 2004 the board included the following members: Jan van Adrichem, Marthe Coenegracht, Jacques De Visscher, Tijmen van Grootheest, Cees Hamelink and Bart Verschaffel. Each year, one or two members of the board retire and are replaced according to a roster of resignation. New appointments to the board are based on qualities that are linked to policy priorities of the academy and the division of tasks within the board. Meetings The board met three times in 2004: in February, June and October. The meeting of October 2004 approved the adapted policy plan for 2005 – 2008, following the subsidy decision made by the State Secretary of Education, Culture and Sciences. policy bodies_policy board 239

General It is the task of the Policy Board to deal with the institutional affairs of the academy. Institutional affairs include: the policy principles relating to the selection and advice of (advising) researchers, personnel, fi nance, investments, workshops, production bureau, library and documentation centre, ex- researchers and public relations. The Policy Board deals exclu- sively with these issues and meets once a month, at most. The meeting comprises one advising researcher per department, the director and the deputy director. Decisions of the Policy Board are published in the announcements. Apart from the decisions, announcements may also contain general institutional information that is deemed important for the (advising) researchers and the technical and administrative staff. Composition In 2004 the Policy Board comprised: Koen Brams (director), Marc De Kesel (Theory department), Jouke Kleerebezem (Design department), Hinrich Sachs (Fine Art department) and Laurens Schumacher (deputy director). Kim Thehu takes the minutes. Meetings In 2004 the Policy Board met six times: in February, March, June, September, October and November. The Policy Board addressed the following issues: — general policy (advice Culture Board, advice Berenschot, decision State Secretary relating to the arts plan period 2005 – 2008); — personnel issues (contract placement students, settling freelance contracts, cost reductions, new recruitments, division of tasks in the production bureau, project management); — fi nancial issues (fundraising; fi nancial analysis and proposals for cost reductions, investments); 240 policy bodies_policy board

— researchers’ affairs (evaluation opening week 2004; accommodation researchers, researchers’ contract, researchers’ attendance, visa procedure, internal committees, studio assignments); — public relations (directory, website, distribution of publications and time-based media productions, recruitment 2004, structural publicity, writing model, PR plan relating to library, recruitment campaign 2005); — programme (adaptations and improvements of the weekly programme, opening week, closing week); — infrastructure (new set-up digital workshops); — evaluation of productions; — documentation centre (new database, writing model). policy bodies_editorial board 241

General The Editorial Board handles the artistic affairs of the academy. Artistic affairs include: initiating and following up research and productions. These matters are the exclusive preserve of the Editorial Board, which meets once a month. The meeting comprises one advising researcher per department and the director. Decisions of the Editorial Board are published in the announcements. In addition, announcements may also contain general information about the artistic programme. A recommendation is re quired from the Editorial Board for production proposals that require a budget in excess of €3,500. The Editorial Board has a production fund of at least €86,192 to fund projects. Revenues from projects by researchers, departments and the institute fl ow back into the production fund of the Editorial Board. Composition In 2004 the Editorial Board comprised: Koen Brams (director), Marc De Kesel (Theory department), Aglaia Konrad (Fine Art department), Filiep Tacq (Design department). Prior to the meetings of the Editorial Board, production bureau staff (Jo Frenken, Petra van der Jeught, Winnie Koekelbergh) provide an overview of the current status of projects already passed by the Editorial Board and of the other projects known to the production bureau. Kim Thehu takes the minutes. Evaluation On 13 January 2004 the Editorial Board organised an evaluation on the initiative of Suchan Kinoshita, former advising researcher, who had been representing the Fine Art department in the Editorial Board up until December 2003. The Editorial Board decided to maintain the existing rules. The rule that content discussions on submitted projects precede any budgetary discussions is retained. Also, projects with budgets un- 242 … der €3,500 will remain facilitated by researchers themselves or by the department. Finally, the rule that researchers need to contribute 25% of the budget is also retained. The Editorial Board decided, however, to establish a number of additional guidelines. From 2004, the 25% own contribution must be guaran- teed before a production is started. The 25% rule does not apply to institutional projects. The Editorial Board wants to indicate an amount of €5,000 (including the 25% own contribution of the researcher) as a directional budget for projects. If the researcher wishes to call in the help of external people to lend a hand in the realisation of a project, compensation for their contributions can only be paid on a ‘per diem’ basis. The contents of project proposals from researchers staying at the Jan van Eyck for two years need to be submitted seven months prior to the departure of the researcher, at the very latest. The corresponding budget needs to be seen six months before departure. The new guidelines are intended to stimulate researchers to submit projects that are fi nancially less considerable, and submit them to the Editorial Board as well as the departments. The Editorial Board also hopes to put the ball more in the departments’ court, concerning experimental, or fi - nancially less hefty projects. As for its own role, the Editorial Board sees a task in initiating or continuing content discussion within the academy. Meetings In 2004 the Editorial Board met nine times, in January, February, April, May, June, July, September, November and December. The budget of the Editorial Board for 2004 was fully utilised. The Editorial Board dealt with the following artistic projects by (advising) researchers and external parties: … 243

General The role of the selection committees is to assess the applications and possibly the de-registrations of researchers and applicant researchers. A researcher/applicant researcher can be admitted for a two-year or one-year period of research at the academy or for a variable period of time in order to carry out a particular project. Since researchers may have a place for one year instead of two, or spend a variable period at the academy, the number of vacancies ﬂ uctuates. It is not the case, for example, that eight vacancies are available at the same time each year. The selection of researchers takes place within the department, in conformity with the departmental structure of the academy. Candidates have to indicate their preference for one of the departments. The committee comprises the director and a minimum of three advising researchers. A strict selection policy is maintained. Ad mission requires that all of the application criteria are met, both in formal terms and in terms of content. As soon as future researchers are informed that they have been admitted, they can prepare for their arrival at the academy, with the assistance of the researchers’ secretariat for logistical matters and with the help of the advising researchers for issues of content. Kim Thehu monitors the recruitment of researchers in terms of content and Leon Westenberg deals with the practical aspects of recruitment. Adaptation procedure in 2004 In 2004 the deadline for applications was changed from 1 May to 15 April. This was necessary in order to be able to carry out visa applications before the summer break. The submitted applications have all been approved by the IND (Immigration and Naturalisation Service). 246 …

Recruitment campaign The selection process followed a publicity campaign in national and international magazines. The recruitment campaign was designed by Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers (researchers Design department). The time available for the campaign was used by the designers to research the various forms of advertising in magazines. This research ended up becoming the topic of the campaign. Apart from the adverts, a poster and a fl yer, an email campaign was also set up. From March 2004 the recruitment campaign was online. These web pages containing practical information on applying as well as the application form were designed in line with the rest of the campaign, and were part of the total Jan van Eyck website. On 14 May 2004 the design was evaluated. The success of the campaign could be deduced from the increase in applications, the greater geographical spread of the candidates, the improved quality of project proposals and the decrease in dependency on advertising by word of mouth. Candidates from 53 different countries applied. Most applications were from the Netherlands (14%), followed by Germany (11%), Belgium (8%) and the United States (5%). Since Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers had expressed their wish to design the campaign for 2005, too, they were briefed by the Policy Board on 24 November 2004. Application fee From 1 October 2004 the application fee was increased to €60. Selection of researchers for the research period starting in 2004 (completed in 2003) 279 candidates applied for academic year 2004. There was an increase in applications compared to academic year 2003. Next to a receptive recruitment policy, 2003 saw the start of a pro-active recruitment. Researchers were canvassed for va- … 247 cant research positions for projects formulated by the Design department: Authoring the city, Micropolis and the Meta haven: Sealand identity project. Selection of researchers for the research period starting in 2005 (completed in 2004) 284 candidates applied for academic year 2005. There was a slight increase in applications compared to academic year 2004. Next to a receptive recruitment policy the availability of researchers’ positions was publicised for research projects formulated by the departments of Fine Art, Design and Theory: Trichtlinnburg (Fine Art department), Visualizing the visual (Design department), The Jan van Eyck Circle for Lacanian Ideology Critique (CLiC) (Theory department). Committees and selection Fine Art department 152 candidates applied to the Fine Art department for academic year 2004. Sixteen candidates were interviewed, eight of whom were admitted. This fi lled all of the positions in the Fine Art department for 2004. In 2003 the selection committee of the Fine Art department comprised: Orla Barry, Koen Brams, Suchan Kinoshita, Aglaia Konrad, John Murphy, Hinrich Sachs and Eran Schaerf. 193 candidates applied to the Fine Art department for academic year 2005. Eighteen candidates were interviewed, eight of whom were admitted. This fi lled all of the positions in the Fine Art department for 2005. In 2004 the selection committee of the Fine Art department comprised: Orla Barry, Koen Brams, Aglaia Konrad, John Murphy and Hinrich Sachs. Committees and selection Design department 24 candidates applied to the Design department for academic year 2004. Six candidates were interviewed; four of whom were admitted. In 2003 the selection committee of the Design department comprised: Koen Brams, Jouke Kleerebezem and 248 …

Filiep Tacq. Next to the receptive recruitment campaign, the Design department initiated a number of projects for which a pro-active recruitment was set up in 2003. These recruitment campaigns have resulted in a full complement of research positions in the Design department in 2004. For the research project Authoring the city. Urban space as a communication platform and a communication device, conceived in collaboration with the Charles Nypels Foundation, 31 candidates applied. Seven candidates were interviewed, four of whom were admitted. The committee comprised the following members: Koen Brams, Paul Elliman, Jouke Kleerebezem, Filiep Tacq, Wouter Vanstiphout and Annelys de Vet. For the research project Micropolis, conceived in collaboration with the Belgian city of Louvain, eight candidates applied. All eight candidates were interviewed and fi ve of them were admitted. The committee comprised the following members: Koen Brams, Jouke Kleerebezem, Armand Mevis, Filiep Tacq and Linda van Deursen. For the research project Meta haven: Sealand identity project, conceived in collaboration with Daniël van der Velden, twenty candidates applied. Six candidates were interviewed, four of whom were admitted. The committee comprised the following members: Koen Brams, Jouke Kleerebezem, Filiep Tacq and Daniël van der Velden. 22 candidates applied to the Design department for academic year 2005. Two candidates were interviewed and they were admitted with a view to further develop the Trichtlinnburg project and the Meta haven: Sealand identity project. In 2004 the committee for the Design department comprised the following members: Koen Brams, Jouke Kleerebezem and Filiep Tacq. Next to the receptive recruitment campaign, the Design department facilitated the project Visualizing the visual, initiated by Wim Cuyvers; a pro-active recruitment campaign was set up for this project policy bodies_selection committees 249 in 2004. 25 candidates applied for this project. Ten candidates were interviewed, seven of whom were admitted. The committee comprised the following members: Koen Brams, Wim Cuyvers and Filiep Tacq. Committee and selection Theory department There were 44 applications to enter the Theory department for academic year 2004. Thirteen candidates were invited for an interview and fi ve of them were admitted. At the begin- ning of 2004, fourteen of the sixteen positions were fi lled. 33 candidates applied to the Theory department for academic year 2005. Seven candidates were interviewed, fi ve of whom were admitted. Next to the receptive recruitment campaign, the Theory department facilitated the CLiC project (The Jan van Eyck Circle for Lacanian ideology Critique), initiated by Marc De Kesel; a pro-active recruitment campaign was set up for this project in 2004. Eleven candidates applied for this project. Eight candidates were interviewed, three of whom were admitted. In 2004 the committee comprised the following members: Norman Bryson, Sabeth Buchmann, Marc De Kesel and Eva Meyer. 250 policy bodies_researchers’ meeting

General The researchers’ meeting is intended to inform researchers about all current academy affairs, from policy and ﬁ nancial matters to artistic, organisational and practical matters. Information and evaluation In 2004 two researchers’ meetings were held. In February the policy of the academy was clariﬁ ed in a meeting. Also, the revised document on researchers’ affairs was explained. It was agreed that researchers wanting to lodge complaints of all kinds could address the members of staff in question and/or see Laurens Schumacher. Laurens Schumacher and the involved members of staff regularly hold meetings to signal complaints, discuss them and then solve them structur- ally. There was a meeting with the researchers in October, to discuss the stipend scheme for 2005. policy bodies_personnel meeting 251

General The personnel meeting is intended to inform staff about matters of policy and to talk about their consequences for the shop ﬂ oor. General Staff Meetings (GSM) In 2004 two general staff meetings were held. The meeting of 23 June 2004 was dedicated to the advice already received with regard to the policy plan 2005 – 2008 and other recent policy developments in the academy. On 25 October the re- formulation of the policy plan, as a result of the decision of the State Secretary of Culture, was clariﬁ ed. The adapted policy plan aims for a balanced spread of costs. The researchers had to give up the production budget, artistic budgets were not increased and an ambitious plan to reduce costs was worked out. If this plan is carried out correctly, the academy is able to retain the stipend scheme. The plan was immediately implemented following the general staff meeting. 252 the artistic apparatus_researchers

General Researchers develop research projects, set up productions and thus contribute to the realisation of the programme of the academy. The objectives, methodologies and timing of the projects are determined by the researcher. To this end, the researcher can call upon technical and artistic advice. Researchers are expected to engage in the projects of other researchers, on the assumption that the research and the productions of one researcher form the formal or content-based context of the research and productions of the other researchers. Residency plan The residency plan is about the development of accommodation for the researchers of the Jan van Eyck. The residency plan also offers the possibility to engage in exchanges with the local (cultural) infrastructure in terms of research and production, thus contributing to a stimulating climate for art, design and theory in Maastricht. In 2004 this plan was discussed with the city of Maastricht, the Province of Limburg and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences. Contract The academy has worked out a contract that defi nes the relationship between researcher and academy. In the past, no agreements were made about distribution, copyrights and the division of revenues. Now that the Jan van Eyck is promoting a professional production trajectory, clarity is necessary. The contract was drafted with the help of a legal advisor. The contract covers the following topics: registration (duration research period, et cetera), information on policy (documentation, accommodation, studio, et cetera) and the concrete results of the research (distribution, copyrights, sharing revenues, et cetera). In conformity with the contract, the researcher acts as maker and the academy as producer and distributor. Core is- … 253 sues are: the researcher has and keeps the intellectual property rights; the academy acquires a non-exclusive licence with regard to the productions; in the case of exploitation of a production, revenues to an amount equalling the investment will fl ow back to the Jan van Eyck. Profi ts are shared pro rata according to the respective investment contributed. In 2004 the contract was evaluated. This evaluation has led to adaptations in the contract. Sections were added about the objective of distribution (PR and sales), about the size of editions of productions, about reproduction and publication thereof. In conformity with the new version, the researcher will henceforth receive 20% – instead of 9% – of the edition. Moreover, the contract was updated in line with changes in policy of the academy. Stipend In conformity with the stipend arrangement of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences, each researcher receives an annual stipend of €8,840, excluding price indexation. It is paid from an annual target subsidy for a maximum of 48 researchers. Due to the decision made by the State Secretary of Culture to halve the subsidy for stipends, starting 2005, the academy has been obliged to work out a plan in order to offer researchers an acceptable form of fi nancial support. Starting point of the plan is to guarantee a basic income position for each researcher: an annual grant of €8,840, paid in 13 equal terms. Giving such guarantee means contributions are asked of the whole of the academy (from all parties). The annual price indexation has been cancelled, commencing 2005. Registration fee In 2004 the registration fee was not adapted to the costs of living in the Netherlands. The fee for 2004 was set at €1,330. Researchers recruited pro-actively need not pay a registration fee. Researchers have been informed about possibilities for EC researchers to receive compensation for reg- 254 … istration fees paid. As from 2005 the registration fee for receptive applications will also be cancelled. Production budget In 2004 researchers with a two-year full-time registration had a research and production budget of € 2,950. This budget was intended as a contribution in costs for materials, activities and production. This research and production budget will be abandoned as from 2005. Insurance Researchers were offered collective insurance in 2004. This insurance covers the cost of illness, public liability, legal costs, accidents and special expenditure (such as fl ight insurance, which covers the cost of a return fl ight to the country of origin in situations where a relative, by blood or mar- riage in the fi rst degree, is in mortal danger or dying). This scheme is arranged annually. As from 2005 researchers need to arrange for their own health insurance. Accommodation Researchers are required to have a place of residence outside of the academy. As a result, they have been asked to submit a copy of their rental agreement. On not complying with this agreement, the academy can proceed to reducing their grant. The academy plays an active intermediary role in acquiring appropriate accommodation for researchers. An overview was provided of the addresses of the researchers with a view to a rapid future allocation of accommodation. Psychological assistance On the basis of a ‘partnership’ with the University of Maastricht, researchers can receive psychological assistance. The psychologist, Heiny Eilkes, provides short series of one-hour sessions, which target cognitive and behavioural aspects. This cooperation was assessed in 2004. After this assessment it was decided to continue the cooperation. … 255

Visa procedure From 1 January 2004 a number of changes have been implemented nationally, relating to the rules of implementation. Henceforth, researchers ﬁ rst need to register with their new local council before they can apply for a visa. Also, researchers from EC countries, staying in the Netherlands longer than three months, need to register. In 2004 several brieﬁ ngs relating to the Dutch regulations on visas were attended. Leon Westenberg and Laurens Schumacher participated in a course regarding visa issues and employment permits. Internal commissions The Jan van Eyck regularly issues calls for internal commissions. Although such commissions can cover all disciplines, they usually concern design commissions. As a result of past experiences with internal commissioning, a meeting with researchers was organised on 26 January 2004, in order to discuss this matter. In mutual consultation a new procedure for granting internal commissions was drafted. Central elements of the new procedure relate to the communication regarding commissions, the feedback between client and freelancer, the procedure in case of differences of opinion relating to content and the evaluation of the results. In 2004 commissions were set up for the following institutional means of communication: the house style, the advertisements, the website, the 2003 annual report, the 2004 recruitment campaign and the 2005 programme brochure. In 2004 commissions were set up concerning the means of communication of the following artistic projects: Ending up with religion again?, Innovative game design, 19th century topographical photography: the city walls, Meta haven: Sealand identity project, Micropolis, Museum in ¿Motion?, The tomorrow book and Trichtlinnburg. 256 the artistic apparatus_researchers

Promotion of expertise The researchers were offered crash courses on video editing, scanning and printing. Settling freelance contracts The researchers were informed about the organisation Payroll Services. Payroll Services (Amsterdam) is a company specialised in ‘ﬁ nancial mediation’ between client and freelancer. The academy does not undertake mediation in these matters. Departmental assistant At the start of 2004 the function of departmental assistant was discarded. Departmental duties are henceforth carried out without payment. Information Information on the abovementioned issues has been made available to researchers in a document. This document contains information on the stipend and other (foreign) bur- saries/scholarships, other income, internal and external commissions policy, income from activities (supported by the Jan van Eyck), taxation, residence and employment permits, promotion of expertise, rental and use of equipment and studios. An extensive clariﬁ cation to the contract has also been added. the artistic apparatus_advising researchers 257

General The three departments – Fine Art, Design and Theory – are led by a team of advising researchers. The team is responsible for such departmental activities as the selection of researchers; the initiation and carrying out of institutional policy (and participating in the Policy Board); the initiation and carrying out of artistic policy (and taking part in the Editorial Board); the initiation and carrying out of the artistic programme and providing artistic advice to researchers. Providing artistic advice is the principal task of the advising researcher. It involves querying objectives, methodologies and completed research projects; creating conditions for the optimal development of individual research projects, with due attention paid to the collective horizon; participating in research groups (as participant or as a catalyst); giving advice on setting up production plans (content, budget and time) for the Editorial Board. The advising researchers are available to all researchers. The meetings between the researcher and the advising researcher (studio visits) are included in the weekly programme. Advising researchers also carry out their own research and set up projects at the academy. To enable them to complete their projects, the facilities of the academy are at their dispos- al. Lectures, seminars, presentations and other productions by advising researchers are open to all (advising) researchers. Fine Art In 2004 the team of the Fine Art department comprised: Orla Barry, Aglaia Konrad, John Murphy and Hinrich Sachs. Design In 2004 the team of the Design department comprised: Wim Cuyvers, Linda van Deursen, Jouke Kleerebezem, Armand Mevis, Filiep Tacq, Daniël van der Velden and Annelys de Vet. 258 the artistic apparatus_advising researchers

Theory In 2004 the team of the Theory department comprised: Norman Bryson, Sabeth Buchmann, Marc De Kesel, Helmut Draxler, Stephan Geene and Eva Meyer. organisation_researchers’ secretariat 259

General The researchers’ secretariat, managed by Leon Westenberg, looks after all matters related to researchers, such as the selection procedure, accommodation, studio assignments (and any infrastructural adjustments to the studios), residence and employment permits, insurance, paid employment, promotion of expertise and the job board. Moreover, Leon Westenberg is also in charge of the apartments of the academy. Information All researchers have been handed a document regarding researchers’ affairs. Recruitment of researchers In November 2003 a start was made with the publicity campaign to recruit artists, designers and theoreticians for a research period starting in 2004. A range of communication tools was employed. Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers designed a ﬂ yer, poster and application site. The edition size was 3,000 copies. In the course of February and March advertisements appeared in the following periodicals: Archis, Artforum, Artpress, BK-info, BNO vormberichten, De Witte Raaf, Eye, Items, Krisis, Metropolis M and Texte zur Kunst. After the selection procedure the recruitment campaign was evaluated and a plan was drawn up for the following campaign. Recruitment procedure In 2004 the entire recruitment procedure was evaluated. This has led to a streamlining of the procedure. Accommodation Advising researchers and guests may use one of the academy apartments. Any remarks about the accommodation can be directed to Leon Westenberg. Leon Westenberg draws up an evaluation every year. 260 organisation_departmental secretariat

General The departmental secretariat, run by Madeleine Bisscheroux, takes care of the coordination of the programme and the organisation of events (colloquiums, lecture series etc.). All productions, both internal and external, are included in the weekly programme. Advising researchers, researchers and technical members of staff give the relevant information to the departmental secretariat. The weekly programme is publicly announced on the website and is also sent in a digital format to those interested. Jo Hardy provides assistance at presentations and events. In 2004 Madeleine Bisscheroux was assisted by Stefﬁ e Padmos and Ilona Wijnsma, students on work placement. Opening academic year 2004 The opening activity, a communal initiative of the Jan van Eyck Academie, the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst Maastricht and the Bonnefanten Museum, was dedicated to Authoring the city. A panel discussion, with Janet Cardiff, Peter Fransman, Alexander van Grevenstein and Solvita Krese, and chaired by Hinrich Sachs, focused on the problems of the ‘authorship’ of the urban public space: should art and design resign themselves to the commissioning role they often get or can they work pro-actively on alternative forms of authorship? The opening week ran from 13 to 17 January. All (advising) researchers gave a presentation. The emphasis was on projects they wish to set up during their stay at the Jan van Eyck. External guests and interested parties were also invited to the opening week. Every year someone is approached to carry out an intervention with a view to the opening week. In 2004 Hinrich Sachs made a mural near the reading table in the hall. … 261

The opening week brought on the publication of a programme brochure, designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi. The programme brochure contains information about everyone active within the Jan van Eyck in academic year 2004. After the opening week an evaluation took place with the members of staff involved and (advising) researchers. The cooperation with the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst Maastricht and the Bonnefanten Museum was given a positive verdict. As for the practical details, some remarks were formulated, which will be taken into account in future organisations of events. Closure academic year 2004 The fi nal day of academic year 2004 was on 16 December. On this fi nal day various researchers gave a concluding presentation of their projects. The traditional dinner was created by fi lm maker and ‘cooking artist’ Onno Faller, who was assisted by researchers. Winnie Koekelbergh organised this fi nal day. Adaptations and improvement of the programme In 2004 the weekly programme was evaluated. The weekly programme concerns the agenda of internal and external activities set up by the (advising) researchers. Content background information of internal and external programme activities is digitally available on the website and physically available in the library. In future, more attention will be paid to making additional information available. The emailed weekly programme (in plain text) will contain the full addresses of pages on the Jan van Eyck site, so that people can download relevant background information. Information on former researchers will henceforth be included in the programme, until one year after the end of the research period at the Jan van Eyck. 262 organisation_departmental secretariat

The weekly programme has been made uniform in terms of style and design. Stylistically, standard formulations will be opted for from now on. The objective is to dovetail the weekly programme with the database of the documentation centre and with the website. As for design, an attractive design has been chosen, whereby the shape of the analogue presentation of the programme is equal to the programme distributed digitally (via email) and presented digitally (on the website). The upcoming programme will henceforth be delivered digitally, in a newsletter, on the ﬁ rst working day of every month; it will provide at the least a minimum of information (dates and titles). Background information which is already available will be made available on the website. The public can choose to receive both newsletter and weekly programme, or just one of them. From now on, the weekly programme will be brought to the attention of the public by means of advertising. Based on the results of this campaign an advertising plan will be set up on an annual basis, which can be implemented from 2005 onwards. organisation_workshops 263

General Workshops are fi rst and foremost places for experimentation and for obtaining technical advice. The role and responsibilities of the technical staff are: providing advice; maintaining the equipment (also drawing up the investment plan); researching into materials and technologies; formulating future plans for the workshops; setting up and assisting in events. First of all, technical advice relates to providing information about the specifi c characteristics of particular materials and production processes and the functionality of hardware and software. In doing so, technical members of staff can refer to specialised places that provide complemen- tary guidance and equipment (and, for this reason, an effort is made to form alliances with such institutions). It is also important that the technical staff inform researchers and advising researchers on the artistic consequences of the use of particular techniques and materials. Also, the advising researchers can approach the technical members of staff for specialised checklists or for assistance in drawing these up, as well as for overviews, composition and advice on production budgets, and also for control on the progress and planning of productions. Each workshop has a mission. Discussions about investments are carried out on the basis of this mission. The following workshops are distinguished: materials (Ron Bernstein, Math Cortlever), wood (Huub Gelissen), computers (René Bellefl amme), time-based media (Berto Aussems), photography (Frank van Helfteren, Frans Vos) and graphics technology (Frans Vos). Materials workshop The materials workshop, run by Ron Bernstein and Math Cortlever, is a multi-functional space for experiments with all sorts of procedures and materials, with the exception of wood. 264 …

Facilities are available in the areas of metal and stone working, non-ferrous technologies and various other materials. Wood workshop The wood workshop, run by Huub Gelissen, is a space for all experiments and implementations relating to wood. The workshop has a complete carpentry, wood-tooling set-up with semi-professional machinery and equipment. Due to safety issues, assistance is given on the basis of individual instruction and guidance with independent activities of researchers. Graphics workshop The graphics workshop, run by Frans Vos, is a space for instruction and experiments relating to various printing processes and technologies. By means of instruction and actual implementation, various technologies (silkscreen, fl atbed, en- graved and relief printing) are made accessible to researchers. Photography workshop The photography workshop is a space for experimental production and guided activities in the area of analogue and digital images and image manipulation. Due to the prolonged absence of Frank van Helfteren, photography – analogue as well as digital – was taken on by Frans Vos. He was also in charge of the photography studio, the dark rooms and the (loan) equipment. Workshop for time-based media The workshop for time-based media is run by Berto Aussems. Audio-visual research is mainly carried out with the help of digital technologies. Often, presentations take place using mixed media. Besides video and CD, DVD and the Internet are increasingly used to archive, distribute and publicise audio-visual content. Production methods and programmes follow the latest developments in this fi eld of work. Computer workshop The computer workshop, run by René Bellefl amme, is a organisation_workshops 265 place for instruction, experiment and implementation of various software and DTP applications. Making expertise available in the computer workshop has been made dependent on the demands for it. When expertise was not available internally, external expertise was sought. The use of external expertise was carried out via the format of the workshop, for which researchers had to register beforehand. 266 organisation_library

General The library, run by Annet Perry-Schoot Uiterkamp, is fi rst and foremost a study area for (advising) researchers and a centre of support for the technical staff members. In addition, the library has a public research function. Digital access to the media is made possible by connection to the IHOL network and the national accessing system PICA. Researchers and staff members get a free borrowing pass, which enables them to borrow from libraries in the region, including the university library in Maastricht and the libraries of the tertiary institutes in Limburg. External researchers who possess an IHOL pass can borrow the media (books, magazines, audio-visual material, and multimedia) present in the Jan van Eyck. The library also lends materials via the national Interlibrary Lending Traffi c (IBL). Collection The librarian, in cooperation with the advising researchers, defi nes the collection profi le. The profi le of the collection is based on the three disciplines within the academy. Books are preferably bought in the original language in which they were published (English, French, Dutch and German), with English and Dutch as duplicate languages. Title processing In July 2001 a decision was made to make the library collection accessible through the PICA cataloguing system. From that moment on, all new acquisitions for the library collection were immediately registered and described in PICA. Also, all lending traffi c was, from then on, carried out via the PICA system. Each borrowed book that had not yet been registered in PICA, got an abbreviated entry in the system and was described fully on return of the book. During the mid-nineties, the Jan van Eyck had also used the system for a while. The 6,702 titles that were then en- … 267 tered were checked in August 2001. This check proved that many titles were no longer present in the collection and that the placement codes had been changed. Therefore, in the autumn of 2001 a start was made to check and correct all these titles. From the 6,702 old PICA titles, 1,234 titles have been removed and 4,636 corrected at the end of 2004. The old catalogue in Adlib, used between the mid-nineties and 2001, will only be closed once all titles entered in it have been transferred to the PICA system. There are still 2,000 titles to be converted to PICA. Staffi ng The recruitment for a library assistant, begun at the start of 2004, was successful. Monique Notermans started work on 1 May 2004. Monique Notermans enters the collection into the PICA cataloguing system. Apart from that, she sees to providing adequate service in the library, together with Annet Perry-Schoot Uiterkamp and Armand Guicherit. PR plan The city of Maastricht has made a subsidy available to pro- mote the library. In 2004 a PR plan was devised for the library. The primary target of the PR plan is to communicate to the public that the library of the Jan van Eyck is a public study and research site, which owns an extensive and lending collection of books, magazines and AV media in the fi elds of fi ne art, design and theory. First of all, a number of network activities will be organised. Furthermore, the component on the library will get a prominent location on the website of the Jan van Eyck: the library collection will be described in more detail than is the case now; house rules and lending possibilities and conditions will be explained and, in the future, a list showing new acquisitions can be added. Finally, publicity material and signage will be realised in line with the Jan van Eyck house style that as yet has to be developed. 268 organisation_library

Consultation In 2004 Annet Perry-Schoot Uiterkamp took part in the meetings of the IHOL user council, and in the consultations of the Art History Libraries Flanders and the Art History Libraries Netherlands. organisation_documentation centre 269

General The documentation centre, run by Armand Guicherit, is a place for research on the Jan van Eyck Academie and is open to the public. Its focus is on documentation about the institute; the programme (both past and present); the work of the (advising) researchers and technical staff (both past and present) and the response to these productions. The documentary material is for reference only and cannot be borrowed. Digital archiving system In 2003 the decision was made to design a new Filemaker database for the documentation centre. There were a number of reasons underlying this decision; most important reason was that the information in the old database could not be searched sufﬁ ciently, partly because almost no selective cross-links could be made between the various entities held in the database (researchers, projects, productions, publications). A second reason for an improved database had to do with the fact that the database is to become a principal source of data for the annual report and the programme brochure. The way in which data were stored in the old database necessitated intensive formatting. The new database will bring the extent and duration of formatting of stored data down to a minimum. At the be- ginning of December 2003 it was decided to contract out the building of the database to Guide Group, based on an internal design. Halfway through January 2004 the actual building of the application was started. The work has been evaluated several times in the course of 2004. In doing so, the lay-out of the data was deﬁ ned as accurately as possible. The development of the database was completed at the end of 2004. A start has been made with entering the data. Writing model A writing model has been developed in order to ensure a quick and consistent delivery of information for (among 270 organisation_documentation centre other things) the annual report, the programme brochure and the website. The model dictates the way in which information is processed in the database. The model is largely based on the APA system and thus follows international and professional guidelines. organisation_production bureau 271

General The production bureau is responsible for the coordination and completion of artistic productions set up on the initiative, or with the cooperation of (advising) researchers, departments or the institute. These include analogue publications (books, magazines and other graphical work), digital publications (websites, CD-ROMS) and all other productions (installations, exhibitions). The production bureau also acts as a workshop, where researchers are enabled to make use of the expertise available. As far as assistance to researchers is concerned, it can take various forms, from providing advice, providing suitable checklists that make the trajectory of various types of production visible, to actually tutoring researchers or locating appropriate assistance outside the production bureau or outside the academy. The production bureau functions as an information hub for the organisation. The production bureau makes an inventory of all productions of (advising) researchers. (Advising) researchers and technical or administrative members of staff who want to know more about any given project can contact the production bureau. The production bureau also takes the initiative in involving workshops in those projects that touch on their domain. The production bureau delivers project information in terms of content and fi nances to the Editorial Board. Staffi ng and rearrangement of tasks within the production bureau After various aspects of the Jan van Eyck publications policy were examined in 2003, a decision was made to start recruit- ing for an editor in 2004. This vacancy was fi lled with the appointment of Petra Van der Jeught. She is responsible for editing analogue and digital publications of (advising) researchers, departments and/or the institute; for coordinating 272 … and following up any external editing of publications; for advising (advising) researchers in terms of editing, specifi cally for the realisation of productions and contributing to the distribution of the publications. In view of the appointment of Petra Van der Jeught, new agreements were made about the organisation of tasks within the production bureau. Jo Frenken is in charge of supervising production of the print work and for drawing up budgets. He also supervises the digital productions (including the website of the academy). Petra Van der Jeught is the fi rst contact person with regard to publications and she is in charge of text editing. Winnie Koekelbergh coordinates the realisation of other productions. Jo Hardy takes care of various logistical issues, including stock management of the publications. Project management of research projects In the autumn of 2004 agreements were reached about project management. The project manager acts as the contact person for the advising researcher in the academy, provides content and organisational support to the advising researcher and looks after management, fi lling in and making public the discourse on the project, especially on the web pages related to the project. Petra Van der Jeught, Winnie Koekelbergh and Kim Thehu have been appointed as project managers. Evaluation productions The evaluation, in terms of content, organisation and budget, is the fi nal piece of project management. So far, evaluation took place either informally, with a view to a new activity, or not at all. Knowledge and insights relating to organisation and production as well as content can be safeguarded by evaluation in a constructive manner. The following procedure has been agreed to: the Editorial Board or the department appoints someone at the start of the project, who follows up the project from a distance. This can be an advising research- organisation_production bureau 273 er or someone external. He/she is outside of the project and has enough time to refl ect on it. Once the project is completed, this person organises an evaluation meeting. 274 organisation_internal/external communication

General Kim Thehu is responsible for reporting on meetings with researchers, advising researchers and staff, for internal communication, coordinating the recruitment of researchers and public relations, including editing the website. Dorrie Tattersall carries out translations into English and Dutch. She also edits internal and external communication. Internal communication After the Policy Board and Editorial Board meetings minutes and announcements are produced. The English translation of the announcements is distributed within a week. Institutional means of communication The 2004 programme brochure was designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi. It gives an overview of the curricula and research projects of the (advising) researchers and technical/ administrative members of staff, available from the opening week of the academic year The annual report – distributed to the institutional partners of the academy – was also designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi. The recruitment campaign – adverts, poster and application website – was designed by Vinca Kruk and Adriaan Mellegers. Writing model All kinds of information carriers within the academy (including the database of the documentation centre, the annual report, the programme brochure, the website, the weekly programme) are used to give information on the range of productions of the institute (publications, exhibitions, symposia). As a result of the building of a new database for the documentation centre and the making of the annual report 2003, a writing model was formulated. The objective of this writing model is to establish unity and consistence in the notation of information. … 275

External communication The weekly programme is emailed to external interested parties. Moreover, elaborate background information on programme components is distributed digitally. The component parts of the programme are announced on the website. Based on specifi c programme activities, specialised mailing lists are set up. In 2004 saw the birth of a new monthly newsletter sent to external interested parties. The newsletter contains information about the institutional policy, the upcoming programme and the productions of current and former researchers. In 2004 a start was made with implementing the advertising campaign for the programme. The adverts – each time in a different typeface – were designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi. There were weekly advertisements in the Maastricht Week-in-week-uit and Observant, bi-monthly adverts in De Witte Raaf, Metropolis M and every four months in Mozaïek. The underlying idea is to highlight activities by making as much background information as possible available via the website and press releases. The campaign proved successful: more external people than before have attended activities. Website In 2004 the new website went online. Its set-up and design link up with the heterogeneous programme of the academy. Firstly, internal and external people are informed about the programme, the facilities and the policy. Secondly, and equally important, the website offers (advising) researchers a platform to publicise research and productions. The website is the medium par excellence to publicize projects, to present them and thus initiate discussion internally and externally. Thirdly, there is attention for alumni. Fourthly, the website serves an internal purpose, such as, for instance, making the library accessible. The website is a portal, a space-time com- 276 … bination, where various activities take place at the same time, each with its own content and shape. The new website was designed by Min Choi and Sulki Choi. Directory In 2004 a new directory was developed. The old directory had a number of problems: there were no links between the directory and various functions in the academy (bookkeeping, library, departmental secretariat); no criteria were defi ned to link an address to a category; relevant search operations could not be carried out and the directory contained many double and incorrect entries. In the new directory each addressee has a unique code, preventing the entry of doubles. Also, it is possible to differentiate addressees. Finally, the directory has been linked to the general administration, the researchers’ administration and the distribution database. Thuur Menger is responsible for entering the addresses. In 2004 all responses to the special database update mailing have been entered. Moreover, relevant addresses from the old directory were selected for entering into the new database. Distribution In 2004 the policy regarding production, stocking and distribution of publications was re-defi ned. Responsibilities of the production bureau (Jo Frenken), concerning stock management (Jo Hardy), distribution (Kim Thehu) and invoicing (Martin Dassen) have been clearly described. Important decisions were made on setting up a storage space for stock in the former print workshop, linking the stock database to the directory, setting up a sales presentation near the reception, making a standard division for internal distribution and simplifying the ordering and payment procedures. Taking into account the heterogeneity of the production of the Jan van Eyck, the core issue of the distribution policy is a lesser dependency on existing distributors and a specif- organisation_internal/external communication 277 ic distribution based on theme and target group per project. The Jan van Eyck, after all, is directed towards areas in the periphery, in terms of theme as well as public. Researchers are actively involved in the distribution of their publications. A start has been made with building up a distribution network. Student on work placement Lonneke van Heugten has drawn up an overview of bookshops in the Netherlands that might be interested in selling the books of the Jan van Eyck. These shops have been sent information; in some cas- es, appointments have been made. Furthermore, actions have been started with regard to specifi c publications (including D, Proceeding #1: Dakar 5-19/05/2002 and Diagonal. Essays on contemporary Cuban art.). Next to the distribution plan for publications, a document was drafted in 2004 with a view to optimising the distribution of time-based media. The plan contains a distribution and invitation policy as well as submitting productions to festivals and distribution institutes. Signposting The academy has asked the council of Maastricht to include the Jan van Eyck in the pedestrian signposting. Based on the presented documentation, the authorised civil servants (department of Urban Design) have drawn the conclusion that the Jan van Eyck Academie as a cultural institution realis- es a programme that has a public function and draws in the public. In 2004 the signposting was realised in the Vrijthof and Jekerkwartier areas of the city centre. 278 organisation_administration

General The administration, carried out by Martin Dassen, Thuur Menger and Yvonne Pluimakers, looks after the interests of the staff and fi nancial affairs for the technical, artistic and administrative members of staff and researchers. Martin Dassen looks after fi nances; Yvonne Pluimakers is in charge of personnel affairs and supports the deputy director. In the spring, Stefanie Timp carried out reception duties, on a temporary detachment basis. Financial affairs and administration From 1 January 2004 labour costs were be transferred to the new budgetary structure. Staffi ng As a result of the reduced working hours and adapted tasks carried out by Martin Dassen and Yvonne Pluimakers, a decision was made in 2003 to appoint an additional administrative member of staff. From 1 May 2004, Carla van Zeventer fi lls the 40% vacancy of fi nancial employee. She is mainly involved with the payable and receivable accounts ledgers; coding and processing entries; keeping specifi c project administrations and reporting thereon; contributing to the fi nancial reporting and the annual report. Receivable accounts ledger The policy objective is to merge acquisitions of identical services. Related goods will be bought from the same supplier, with the intention to create a volume of trade which offers possibilities for discounts/sponsoring. If purchases of €2,000 or more are usually made with certain companies, attempts will be made to see whether graduated discounts cannot be agreed on, based on the real turnover. At the end of 2004, the selection of suppliers was focused on ICT investments (computer, audio, video), the materials workshops and hotel reservations. In 2005 agreements will also be made with other suppliers. organisation_administration 279

Reviewing procedures In consultation with the administrative staff, a decision was made to review a number of procedures. The number of cash transactions has been reduced. In future, the academy has a restrictive policy relating to cash payments, including cash advances. Cost declarations by personnel and (advising) researchers are streamlined by using a different payment scheme. 280 organisation_catering and cleaning

Catering Wil Engelen, Petra Kuhlman and José Nievergeld are responsible for catering. Hygiene code The Food Inspection Department considers the canteen to be a catering establishment. This means that the hygiene code for catering needs to be applied. A hygiene code geared to the Jan van Eyck Academie was worked out in 2004. The hygiene code will be valid from 1 January 2005. As of this date, goods will only be purchased from suppliers who state in writing that they work according to this code. Prices In 2004 the prices for food and drinks were adjusted. Previously, prices were set on an ad hoc basis, which was not always balanced. From 1 January, food and drink will be offered for sale at minimum prices with a small surcharge for general costs. Articles that are ‘more or less’ comparable will be priced similarly. Vouchers In 2004 vouchers will be used during launches, opening cer- emonies and other activities; exceptions are the refreshments at concluding and opening events. Cleaning Tonnie Lindt is responsible for cleaning. organisation_human resources 281

Retirement arrangement The academy’s staff has a relatively high average age. In a few years’ time the academy will therefore have to face the choice of knowledge conservation versus job rejuvenation. The academy sees two possibilities to transfer the knowledge and contacts of the technical and administrative members of staff to younger employees: by reducing the hours of work of older members of staff and by implementing a timely recruitment/hiring of additional expertise. It has been decided that employees can reduce their working hours from the age of 57, on a voluntary basis. In 2003 and 2004 the academy deposited the deductions into a so-called replacement fund. The replacement fund is intended to solve staffi ng diffi culties resulting from this retirement arrangement. Leave-saving arrangement Members of staff can employ various means for the benefi t of a leave saving arrangement. Resources that can be utilised for leave saving: holidays, overtime and other acquired compensation time. The maximum amount of saved-up leave is one year and the continuous period of leave that can be taken up is two months at minimum, with a maximum of one year. IKAP arrangement Members of staff can choose to utilise sources of income totally or in part for fi scally facilitated purposes. The following sources of income have been assigned in this context: compensation for overtime, holiday allowance, health costs compensation, end-of-year allowance, once-only payments, compensation for reducing the amount of holidays taken. These sources can subsequently be used for the following purposes: compensation for the purchase of a personal computer and/or accessory equipment (this use was cancelled in August 2004); supplying a bicycle for forensic travel; decreasing pa- rental contributions for day care; tax-free compensation for 282 … study, courses and professional literature; setting up an individual pension plan and additional compensation for travelling costs. Kim Thehu and Winnie Koekelbergh made use of this arrangement in 2004. Tele-work ing arrangement Members of personnel who carry out duties on a tele-work basis can receive partial compensation for the set-up of their workspace every fi ve years. This compensation is part of the overall tele-work arrangement set up by the academy. Overtime arrangement The overtime arrangement has been defi ned in greater detail. Overtime applies if a member of staff has worked longer than the set time he/she offi cially works that day. In the case of working during weekends the overtime arrangement always applies. Irregularity allowance Members of staff who are regularly asked to work outside of regular working hours are eligible for the irregularity allowance. This allowance is intended to compensate for having to work outside of regular working times on a structural basis. Procedure sick leave The members of staff have been informed about an adjusted sick leave procedure. The procedure is aimed at supplying ac- curate information to colleagues and researchers, and at effi - ciently monitoring the dossier of members of staff who are ill.

Students’ contract A contract for students on work placement at the academy has been drawn up. The contract provides clear agreements between academy, student and relevant educational institute. A placement student is expected to submit a report after completing the placement. Work placement projects In 2004 a number of work placement projects were set up. In the departmental secretariat Ilona Wijnsma, Cultural Social Education student, and Steffi e Padmos, student Scientifi c Drawing, assisted Madeleine Bisscheroux. 284 …

A placement project was set up with Annemie Moesen, student Cultural Sciences atMaastricht University relating to the symposium Innovative game design. The project regards setting up and maintaining a website and lending a hand with the promotion of the symposium. For the Trichtlinnburg project, advised by Hinrich Sachs, Lonneke van Heugten was appointed as student on work placement. She also supported Kim Thehu with drawing up the distribution policy. A team of four students on work placement worked for the project Publications & resonances, initiated by Johan Deumens and dealing with the artists’ book productions at the Jan van Eyck. The students were Geertje Brouwers, Karen Cheung, Marjon Meijer and Maaike van Stolk, Cultural Sciences students at Maastricht University. Primary objective of the work placement was the practical coordination and editing of case studies as well as the documenting of the process for future purposes. First aid Ron Bernstein, Thuur Menger, Yvonne Pluimakers and Leon Westenberg are the academy’s ﬁ rst-aiders. From 2004 the repeat ﬁ rst-aid courses are counted as working time. Personnel complement Every Monday at noon a communal lunch is offered to members of staff, (advising) researchers and guests. All members of personnel, including part-timers, are present on Mondays. Promotion of expertise The academy encourages initiatives relating to promotion of expertise. In 2004 the following initiatives were supported: — course in editorial skills: Winnie Koekelbergh and Kim Thehu; — workshop SonicActsX: Berto Aussems; — course in NCC/IBL: Annet Perry-Schoot Uiterkamp; organisation_human resources 285

— course in PICA: Monique Notermans; — seminar on life/career record arrangement and WAO leg- islation: Yvonne Pluimakers and Laurens Schumacher; — seminar on Adobe Software: Jo Frenken; — workshop on Certiﬁ ed PDF: Jo Frenken; — course in effective telephony: Thuur Menger; — workshop on art materials: Ron Bernstein; — Dutch language course: Zuzana Lapitková; — Video course for researchers, led by James Duesing; — Scanning workshop for researchers led by Paul Maas. Business trip Koen Brams participated in a tour of Egypt, Jordan and the Lebanon from 3 to 11 October. The tour was organised by the Mondriaan Foundation. 286 organisation_consultations and memberships

Consultations The directors of the Jan van Eyck Academie and the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Maastricht have artic- ulated their wish for a closer collaboration. In 2004 there was a meeting on the development of an artistic programme with added value for the Academie voor Beeldende Kunst as well as for the city of Maastricht. A ﬁ rst outcome was the workshop for students of the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten, carried out by researchers Lina Issa and Iratxe Jaio. At a local level, Kim Thehu took part in the VVV (tourist board) culture platform meeting in the city of Maastricht. At a provincial level Kim Thehu and Jouke Kleerebezem took part in the provincial design debate. Memberships In 2004 the Jan van Eyck was a member of: — Kunsten ’92 (Arts ’92); — Res Artis, international association for artists in residen- cies and programmes; — IHOL – the regional library network of Maastricht University and other tertiary institutes. The contract was prolonged for the period 2005 – 2007; — SSHM – the Stichting Studenten Huisvesting Maastricht (Foundation Student Accommodation Maastricht). ﬁ nances_general 287

The policy is geared at increasing the budgets for the development of artistic policy. The projects in which alliances were forged with third parties generated extra income. The policy relating to charging registration fees has been changed due to the pro-active recruitment carried out by the academy. For pro-active projects, no registration fees are levied, nor are individual production budgets granted. Unforeseen additional costs in the operation are connected to WAO (disability) lev- ies, a rise in energy costs and higher canteen costs due to an increase in the number of activities. Operating subsidy The total operating subsidy amounts to €1,939,082 in conformity with the allocations in the context of the arts plan period 2001 – 2004. This amount includes government contributions to the development of labour costs and excludes the subsidy of €482,016 for grants. Mandate The mandate for representing the foundation, agreed on between the board and the directors, has been registered at the chamber of Commerce. 288 ﬁ nances_income

Apartments In 2004 a plan was drawn up to create additional income from the renting of the apartments. In periods when the programme is fairly hectic, renting the apartments will be carried out with restraint. However, compared to now, even in these periods a more active renting policy will be carried out. In periods when there is less programmed within the academy, an active renting policy will be carried out. Customers will be sought within the network of the academy. In the short term, replacement investments can be expected. Moreover, the apartments will be checked in respect of current safety regulations. Subsidising and sponsoring of projects: general The mapping of possibilities for subsidy and sponsoring was continued in 2004. Fundraising will be initiated after content approval from the Editorial Board or the department. In every Policy Board and Editorial Board meeting overviews are presented of the state of affairs relating to fundraising for projects and distribution of productions. The idea is to create an exchange of information and knowledge with regard to the possibilities of fundraising and distribution. Fundraising is coordinated by Laurens Schumacher and distribution is coordinated by Kim Thehu. Subsidising and sponsoring of projects: Overview of activities relating to projects of researchers and/or the academy In 2004 fundraising actions were organised for the following projects: — Hubert Czerepok, Art world career game. Contacts were established with three companies which make games: Ravensburger, Jumbo Games and Holbox. The sponsoring dossier has not yet been ﬁ nalised. — Symposium Ending up with religion again? Instituut … 289

Heyendaal in Nijmegen contributed 30% of the budget. Hotels were successfully approached about getting package deals. A subsidy application was given a positive assessment by the Province of Limburg. — On the television work of Jef Cornelis. In 2004 preparations were started for an EU application for the project around the television fi lms of Jef Cornelis. A meeting was held with CCP (Cultural Contact Point), which is connected to SICA (Foundation International Cultural Activities). In 2004 the application could not be completed. The lectures that were held in 2004 were subsidised by the Province of Limburg. — Yolande Harris, Meta-Orchestra. A subsidy application, supported by the Jan van Eyck Academie and the Stichting Intro/In situ, was submitted to the Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst (Fund for Creative Music). This application was turned down. Museum Het Domein (Sittard) made two beamers available for the project. A subsidy application was given a positive assessment by the Province of Limburg. — Jouke Kleerebezem, UbiScribe. A target subsidy from the Mondriaan Stichting in 2003 made it possible to purchase hardware and software for this online publication project. The Province of Limburg decided to support the promotion for this project. — David Küenzi, I just saved your life. After production was completed, subsidy applications were submitted to the Province of Limburg and the city of Maastricht, to support the presentation of the fi lm. The Province of Limburg decided to support the project fi nancially. The advisory committee of the city council turned down the application. The committee in question advised to collaborate with a specifi c programme: Kaleidoscoop. 290 …

Eyck Academie) submitted a subsidy application to the EU in 2003. In 2004 the EU assessed the project posi- tively. The project covers the period of 1 September 2004 to 1 September 2005. The Salzburger Kunstverein is central coordinator of Trichtlinnburg. The city of Maastricht and the Province of Limburg supported a ﬁ rst public presentation of Trichtlinnburg in Café Zuid on 12 and 13 November 2004.

Cost reductions In order to guarantee an income provision for the researchers, the academy has announced an across-the-board plan of cost reductions in 2004. Measures are taken with regard to the following areas: write-offs, waste management, energy, fi nancial management, infrastructure, canteen management, copying and printing costs, mailings, materials, personnel costs, publicity, telephony and workshops. Concrete proposals have been worked out in detail for the various components of the plan. 292 fi nances_operation and clarifi cation

Accounting principles for determining assets and liabilities and the results for 2004 General The accounting principles applied for the evaluation of the assets and liabilities and for determining the results are based on historical costs. Unless otherwise indicated, assets and liabilities are included at their nominal value. Revenues and expenditure are allocated to the period to which they relate. Material fi xed assets The buildings, land, construction/installations and inventories are valued at the price of acquisition. Depreciation is cal- culated as a percentage of the acquisition price using a linear method on the basis of economic viability. The following de- preciating percentages are employed: — buildings: 2.5 % — sites and building premises: no writing-off — construction and installations: 10% 1 — inventories: 10 – 33 /3 % The inventory with a purchase price of less than €2,500 will be written off within a year of purchase. Claims Claims are valued at their nominal value following the de- duction of a provision for non-collectables. Provisions The provision for the staff relates to the estimated cost of long-term sick leave. A provision is also being made for the expected cost of maintenance of buildings, renovations and installations. The provisions specifi ed are given their nominal value. fi nances_balance sheet 293

Balance € -28,136 -29,159 294 infrastructure_accommodation

General With regard to the infrastructure, there are a number of problems, including the lack of space and health and safety (ARBO) requirements. It was decided to solve these problems within the existing building. Considerations in this were that the original building, by architect Peutz, has an important representative value and that the location of the institute, in the centre of Maastricht and in the proximity of other cultural institutions, is excellent. In the light of this principle choice for the existing building, a multi-phased plan was set up that is to act as a guideline for interim infrastructural adjustments. Studios It has been decided that twice a year comfort-enhancing refurbishments can be carried out in the studios. Investments accommodation During the summer period some infrastructural work was carried out in the building. The Bonnefanten collection was housed in a space that no longer functions as a studio. Provisions were made for storage of the publication stocks in the former print workshop. The stocks have been sorted in annual order, enabling a more efﬁ cient management of stocks. The (bulk) copying machine was moved to a separate space with better facilities (working space, air ventilation). At the back entrance to apartment Tongerseweg 37A roof repairs were carried out, since the faulty roof had caused leakages in the wood workshop. Window frames were replaced in a studio and adapted in an ofﬁ ce and malfunction- ing blinds were replaced. Energy After doing a price comparison, it has been decided to pro- long the energy contract with Nutsbedrijven with another year, until 31 December 2005. infrastructure_facilities 295

General The technical staff members draw up investment proposals based on the future visions for the workshops. These include a long-term view of the investment policy based on new developments in each discipline and on the coherence of investments with other workshops. Before the directors are able to make a defi nite decision on the investments they consult with the artistic staff. Then the decision of the directors is communicated to the Policy Board and to everyone involved. From 2004, the academy will try to gain fi nancial advantages from reductions, sponsoring and subsidies. Investments in equipment 2004 In total, a budget of €81,667 has been requested. Of this, €26,552 has been approved. For the audio-video studio a Camcorder DVCAM and two Sennheissers radio micro- phones were purchased; a fax machine was bought for the administration; pallet and plate trucks were bought for the materials workshop. In the latter workshop an table ventilation system was also installed, for protection against fumes released during production. Some investments relate to health and safety issues and are paid from the health and safety budget. Talks were held with the people involved, which led to adjustments in the investment plan. Additional investments concern computers for the director’s assistant and the researchers’ secretariat, among other things, in view of the development of the directory. The wireless (Internet) network was expanded from two to four airport base stations, which enables wireless Internet access everywhere in the academy. For reasons of security, access to these two stations is restricted. Two Internet stations were set up in the library. The canteen refrigerator was replaced. In addition to the investment plan, a policy was worked out relating to software. A budget of €7,500 is the starting point for 2004. A contract 296 infrastructure_facilities was signed with Surfnet, a national purchasing and sales organisation in the fi eld of software, specifi cally for educational and other non-profi t institutions. After registration and payment of the annual subscription fee, the academy as well as researchers and personnel can order software at large reductions (up to 65% of the retail price). It is being researched whether Surfnet can improve the Internet connectivity of the academy via its subsidiary companies. Investments in equipment 2005 In anticipation of the subsidy allocation for the period 2005 – 2008, there were no calls for investment proposals for 2005. The deadline for submitting investment proposals was set at 15 January 2005. Offset press The offset press, which the academy donated to the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, has been re-installed there. The agreement to cooperate on a project bases has been reconfi rmed by the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. Calamity fund The academy has a calamity fund that is intended to cover more expensive repairs to machinery or to meet substantial costs due to unforeseen circumstances. staff_overview of appointments 2004 297
