ITP Training programme – Artistic Research with PWU Manila

11 Sep

Last February Sint Lucas Antwerpen concluded a three year training programme with the visual arts and music department of PWU in Manila. During these 3 years strong bonds were created between the 2 institutions.

The concluding 2 weeks were 14 intens, but rich in sharing experiences on artistic research. Both the mentors and tutors from Sint Lucas and PWU grew a lot during this trajectory. Together we planed fruitful seeds for artistic research in the Philippines. In the first week we worked on a joint publication. A special edition of Grounds (the name of the research publication at Sint Lucas) was launched. A precious achievement that resulted in 2 unique copies. One can be consulted at the library of PWU, on at the library of Sint Lucas Antwerpen.

Although the ITP trajectory is over, the collaboration has not.We will try to find ways to do so. It was and is an honour to be part of this journey as a Dean.

not to be missed in June and September !

16 Jun

My first academic year as head of Sint Lucas Antwerp – School of Arts is almost over. The least one can say is that it was an unconventional year. I was appointed in full lockdown. We left Malta without being able to say goodbye in a proper way. The year started in a semi-ok way, but after a month we were again in a lockdown with restricted possibilities to lecture and coach students.

But here we are, proud and happy to present the exhibitions of our bachelor, master en premaster students. Times have been challenging for them, but the results are there based on passion, drive and skills supported and coached by a super dedicated staff. I’m honoured to be their dean.

When you are around do not miss the shows 

Oh … and colleagues and friends in Malta. We are planning to come over in September to have the goodbye party 😉
