residency van doesburghuis 2025

Since 2017, the Creative Industries Fund NL, the Film Fund, the Performing Arts Fund NL, the Mondriaan Fund and the Literary Fund have jointly offered work periods in the Van Doesburg House in Meudon, Paris, via open calls, where makers and designers can further develop their artistic practice.

With this call from the Creative Industries Stimulation Fund, one work period of four months is offered. In the studio house that Theo van Doesburg designed for himself and his wife Nelly in the late 1920s, makers and designers can do research, develop ideas or create new work.

The Stimuleringsfonds is open to various applications, but particularly encourages proposals with conceivable scenarios for a garden design for the Van Doesburghuis, which reflects the avant-garde vision of the Van Doesburgs. This vision revolves around a harmonious connection between architecture and nature, while at the same time responding to contemporary challenges around biodiversity and circularity.

In line with Theo and Nelly's interdisciplinary practice and versatile artistry, a collaboration with an applicant within another discipline is also possible within this period.
