Opening of Borderland Residencies 2024-25
Date
September 2rd, 12.00-21pm
Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht
Once again artists from near and far are coming to our Rhine-Meuse region to spend three months working intensively on their art, researching, getting to know the landscape and making new contacts. This is made possible by thematic field trips to the hotspots of European (art) history and euregional transformation - in addition to visits to studios and art fairs.
We already have an inspiring opening event behind us, which took place on September 2 at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. At this internationally renowned multidisciplinary research institute for art, design and reflection, 20 + residents presented their diverse art together with their hosts: around 15 residencies in the Lower Rhine, South Gelderland, Limburg, the Rhine region and region of Aachen, East Belgium and Wallonia. What a multi-perspective firework display of ways of understanding, expressing and dealing with the world we live in.
The programme will once again conclude in a collective project at the end of the Borderland period. In the years before, the collective production took the form of a group exhibition, catalogue and an art box - we are looking forward to see what ideas will be developed this year!
