FLACC

With Funding
Free / No Costs
Genk, Belgium

Eligibility

Every year, FLACC facilitates the realisation of 10 to 15 artists' projects in Genk, in tune with the contemporary context of art making. The process-based projects are developed independently of any need for presentation, and are in most cases aimed at the realization of new work. Core concepts here are equality, cooperation, and space for experimentation. FLACC introduces renowned and promising foreign artists into the Belgian artistic landscape. But young talent and experienced Belgian artists are also supported, even across borders. Crucial elements in the FLACC workplace projects are: theoretical research, input from experts, practical feasibility, and an output in relation with the studio labour, for example by contributing to the art discourse, a publication or a presentation.

Number of Participants

The call is open for all visual artists. Due to the diversity of our workshops, the application is open for projects in various media and disciplines. Projects with interest in artistic labour, challenging the notion of a 'workplace' or with a focus on experiment are preferable. The work period is three-month full time or around 90 days, divided in several smaller work periods between February 2019 and December 2019. FLACC offers an accommodation, a workplace, covered travel expenses as well as a small production budget. The available budget depends on the project. The amounts mentioned are just an example. Please use our application form and excel sheet to apply. The application should include a well-defined project proposal, calculated budget and your résumé (text and images and/or video). The forms can be downloaded from http://www.flacc.info/en/opencall. For more info please contact Luuk Nouwen or Stef Renard at application@flacc.info.

Program Description

FLACC provides practical, material and financial assistance through extended collaborations with artists. The selected artists can, in this way, count on an extensive level of long term support. They can fully concentrate on their projects, whose process-driven realisation, worked out in collaboration with FLACC, is often just as important as the physical result itself. FLACC suggests that this realization is sometimes even secondary to the deployment of activities which can aid the artistic development of the artist, such as theoretical deepening, experimentation and networking. Projects that strengthen the development of the artist, engage in reflection, or manifest an experimental character are preferred over projects in which the realization of one or more works are central. FLACC has metal and woodworking workshops, a digital studio (film and photography), and a foundry with a furnace and kilns for ceramics, bronze and glass applications, and an extensive workspace.
