Workplace

The extensive workshop of the Frans Masereel Centrum has six professionally equipped workshops: intaglio, screen printing, relief printing, lithography, typography and digital output (risograph , laser cut, printers, ...). The residency is aimed at getting resident artists able to work as independently as possible. The studio coordinators are in the care of the necessary advice and support.

The focus of a residency at the Frans Masereel Centrum lays mainly on creation, experimentation in the studio and on research into the position of printed matter in relation to other visual arts. The artist is challenged to place print in relation to his own artistic oeuvre. It is a tangible study of the added value of printed matter within the artistic process as well as the possibilities that printing applications offer to translate substantive and thematic questions.

Accommodation

Located in the green woodlands of Kasterlee, and next to the main studio, nine cottages are spread over the site. Each cottage contains a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, a sofa, a drawing table and two bedrooms. Both bedrooms have each two beds, which allows you to bring a partner, some family members, assistants or friends. All cottages are equipped with wireless internet. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave oven, electric cooktop, refrigerator, coffee maker, etc. and residents receive one basic package of sheets and towels. Additional packages can be requested. The communal laundry room is equipped with a washing machine and dryer. Pets are not allowed.

Material

Printing equipment, proofing paper, basic inks and other essential items are made available, free of charge, in the workshops. Several printing papers can be bought on site but special inks/ materials must be bought and brought along or ordered and delivered at the Frans Masereel Centrum. The use of our RISO printers and laser cutters, or digital photo printers, are charged at production cost. Don’t forget to bring your own drawing material and personal protective equipment. Gloves and an apron should not be missing from your luggage.
