The residency invites artists to reflect on the particularities of the Euregio-Meuse-Rhine region and its landscapes, exploring new perspectives on the particular urban and rural territories in the border triangle. Responding to the various landscapes, their borders, their history and their possible futures.
The project may address or reflect themes that will revolve around ways of questioning the cross border territory : sustainability and resources (natural, human, economical, etc) ; post-industrialism landscapes (architecture, ecology, transition, social, etc.) ; multicultural and historical heritage (language, knowledge, micro histories, etc) ; geopolitics topics link to the territory (communications, routes and migration) ; place of water in the landscape.
The focus of the residency is on research and developing a new work in this context. The artist is invited to give a public presentation of their practice in Greylight Projects in the beginning of the residency as an introduction to the interested members of the cultural field. The residency period will take place at Greylight Projects in Heerlen, with a final public presentation at Greylight Projects as well as in Liège as part of the programmation of the performance festival that will occur on the 7th of September 2024. The artist(s) will be guided by the teams of both Greylight Projects and Art au Centre throughout the residency.
