le Programme "Artist in Residence"

du Musée IFFM, 1999-2021

à propos

Each year since 1999 the In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, Belgium, organises a residency for a contemporary artist who accepts to create new work that reflects the artist’s ideas or comments on war and peace and violence in general, or about the First World War specifically. The work has to be produced with the museum and is displayed as part of the permanent exhibition of the museum.

Creating contemporary art for and in an exhibition which is entirely dedicated to the First World War challenges the artists and their public in various ways.

In an online webinar for the European program Art For Remembrance, Piet Chielens, museum director, reflects on the experience the IFFM had and tries to define why the residence program has been beneficial to all parties involved.
