Based on an examination of artisanal practices and new forms of food production, the foundation invites visual artists, curators, designers and chefs to submit a project on the theme of deceleration in our overly consumerist world, that explores concepts for the col- laborative economy (recycling, textiles, 3D creation, food...) and has a social impact.
The two laureates will receive a production grant of 10,000 euros depending on the project, workspace and residential accommodation at ThalieLab in Brussels.
Depending on the nature of the project, the final product will be presented either in the foundation's exhibition space and/or a public space.
Thalie Art Foundation is a private foundation based in Brussels.
