In the context of a meeting of the recently launched Artist in Residence platform Brabant (previously AIR Brabant), Pascal Gielen will give a lecture on the new publication Contemporary Artist Residencies: Reclaiming Time and Space.

What is the present role of artist residencies is in relation to artists and the art ecosystem amid transformations in society?
