New: European post-master's degree in artistic research

In partnership with Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain / Casino Display, a new European post-Master's programme will be offered from the academic year 2025-2026. This programme is the fruit of collaboration between four higher art education establishments from three European countries: the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art et de Design de Nancy (ENSAD Nancy - FRANCE), ENSAV La Cambre (Brussels - BELGIUM), the Haute École des Arts du Rhin (La HEAR - Strasbourg/Mulhouse - FRANCE) and the Royal Academy of Art (KABK - The Hague - NETHERLANDS).

This artistic research laboratory is a programme that encourages collective and transdisciplinary artistic research within an experimental and process-oriented framework. It offers emerging artist-researchers a platform to explore new methodologies, engage in collaborative research and rethink traditional notions of authorship and knowledge creation. Operating in a para-academic and para-institutional mode, the lab emphasises deceleration, open exploration and the evolution of artistic practices rather than the production of finished works. Over a series of research weeks, the programme provides financial support for participants' projects, access to technical facilities and support from an international network.

Participants will be responding to the conceptual theme of ‘folds’, approached as a tool for exploring complexity, relationality and narrative potential in artistic practice.

All the practical information, including how to apply, can be found in the attached document and on the Casino Luxembourg website.
