Eye Artist and Scholar in Residence
In 2016 Eye Filmmuseum celebrated the 70th anniversary of its collection with the launch of a new Artist and Scholar in Residence programme. Since the first edition in 2017, Eye so far has invited three artists and three scholars to explore Eye’s collection and create new work. With this programme, Eye wishes to open up the collection to new perspectives through its reuse, and to promote interdisciplinary artistic practices.
For the next edition of the residency, they are expanding the search by announcing an Open Call for the selection of the artist. Through this Open Call we wish to diversify the reach and broaden the scope of this selection process. The residency enables the selected artist (and scholar) to freely develop or create a project making use of the vast collection and expertise of Eye.
At the end of the residency, the artist and scholar in residence will give a presentation on the project they have worked on. The form of this presentation can vary from a screening of their new work, a lecture, or the exhibition of an installation. The residency also provides the opportunity to be included and present in talks, seminars and workshops.
The residency aims to provide the opportunity for public access to the work by the invited artist and scholar, and promotes talks, seminars or workshops as part of the stay. At the end of the residency, the artist and the scholar will give a presentation on the project they have worked on. The form of this presentation can vary from a screening of their new work, a lecture, a publication or the exhibition of an installation.
The final work of the Artist in Residence will be exhibited at Eye’s project space and will be presented by the artist during the Eye on Art evening on December 12, 2023. The preliminary dates of the exhibition are 3 - 12 December 2023. The piece should be finalised before this time.
At the end of the project, the work created will be added to the Eye collection. The copyright of the piece will remain with the Artist but a licence will be granted to Eye for museological use of the work such as the right to screen/present the work or otherwise make it known to the public on the premises of Eye.
