On Saturday, April 29, we will once again open the doors of our studios. Potential residents with questions about the ongoing Open Call for an artist residency can talk to our studio coordinators. There will be information sessions at 2 pm and 4 pm. Make sure to reserve a time slot here, so we know how many people to expect.
In addition, designers U/Define (Bruges) and Frantzen et al (Amsterdam) will present the first plans for the new artists’ accommodation that will be in use starting in 2025.
Presentation new artists’ pavilion – 3 pm
Designers U/Define (Bruges) and Frantzen et al (Amsterdam), supported by study bureaus TECH3 (techniques), Denkbar (stability), Kubiek (EPB) and landscape architect Aldrik Heirman, have been working in co-creation with Frans Masereel Centrum, Agentschap Facilitair Bedrijf and the Flemish Department of Culture, Youth and Media for the past year on the redevelopment of the residency zone on the site of our arts center.
They started from the qualities present, to make connections between old and new. In this way, a recognizable building typology was created, with a natural implantation and attention to the sustainability parameters (i.e. circular building) of the Flemish Government. The extraordinary result is a compact no-nonsense building, with space for creativity, security and relaxation. A hint to the past with eyes on future memories.
Welcome for a first look at the plans on April 29 at 3 pm!
Entrance is free.
