'Workplaces' in Flanders and the Netherlands

Etcetera Nr. 104  

In 2005 Trans Artists studied the diversity of international guest studios in the Netherlands, in the research titled: Around Guest Studios NL.

In Flanders, international guest studios and artist-in-residence programs are also known as 'werkplaatsen', 'workplaces'. The Flemish art magazine Etcetera has produced a sketch of the landscape: “How many are there now? And what do they do exactly?”

The category 'workplaces', launched in the Belgium so-called New Arts Decree, is a flexible term which covers a multitude of art centers. Anne Dekerk and Sally de Kunst visited 13 subsidized organisations a nd made an overview of what was to be found. Etcetera

A new look at guest studios in the Netherlands and Flanders

What are the current challenges for international guest studios and residence workshops in the Netherlands and Flanders?

A central question in the project - A new look at guest studios, which Trans Artists and Flemish Cultural Centre De Brakke Grond organized in collaboration with guest studios in November and December 2007. The project was a unique opportunity to meet and exchange with artist-in-residency organizations in The Netherlands and Flanders and think about the future.

In the publication you find the report of the visits along guest studio's in Flanders, The Netherlands and the conference at Flemish Cultural Centre De Brakke Grond.

The set up of this project was based upon the following questions:

Artist-in-residence programmes are popular. The provision of guest studios is growing. This brings changes with it. There is more mutual “competition” between guest studios. Artists are becoming more selective in making a choice from what is available. The public, sponsors, and the authorities are asking for recognizable results, for visibility. Quality requirements are being tightened.

How are the providers of guest studios dealing with this changing situation? And what similarities and difference in approach are there between Dutch and Flemish guest studios? What can be learned from these differences?
