AGA LAB
AGA LAB is an artist-run printmaking workplace. AGA LAB offers four artist-in-residence places, two with living arrangements and two without. The residency is open to both international as well as local professionals.
AGA LAB’s Artist in Residence program offers space for research, experimentation and the development of new work. A weekly Artist Talk is organised to give participating artists a chance to reflect on their work and process, and prepare for an optional presentation to conclude the residency. The studio offers a wide range of printing techniques, technical expertise, a spacious non-toxic workshop, exchange with (inter)national colleagues, an urban agricultural garden with ink plants and many creative neighbours.
For many artists in the graphic art world, AGA LAB is a starting point for their work and stimulates their free-range and creative research. AGA LAB expressively searches for the dialogue between artists, designers and other creative professionals on social developments.
Former Artists in Residence mention the expertise of staff, the exchange with other artists, 24/7 studio access, large screen printing tables and great litho presses as reasons for the success of their stay.
The artist donates two prints and, when interested, can present his/hers work through an exhibition at the Studio or Gallery De Bouwput, depending on availability.
Residents have 24/7 access to the studio. The residencies are connected to the spacious print studio which is located in an old, spacious school building which houses studios for creatives. There is a separate 80 m2 project space. The rooms have entrance to the courtyard.
The accommodation has a private bathroom and a shared kitchen.
