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 collaborative 
economy (recycling, textiles, 3D creation, foodŠ) 
and has a social impact.

The two laureates will receive a production grant 
up to 10,000 euros depending on the project, 
workspace and residential accommodation at 
ThalieLab in Brussels.

Depending on the nature of the project, the final 
project will be presented either in the 
foundation's exhibition space and/or a public 
space.

approach to contemporary art creation, by taking 
the following criteria into account:
-To involve a community in the development of the artist's project
-To be supported by an institutional partner
-To offer a diversity in the type of end results 
generated (film, performance, visual or audio 
creation, publication, exhibition, workshop,Š)

all nationalities who speak French and/or English.

Thalie Art Foundation - ThalieLab
Thalie Art Foundation is a private foundation 
whose mission is to support contemporary creation 
dedicated to societal themes, thus fostering 
active and collaborative artistic practices in 
order to create social ties and to rise 
awareness. This is also to live and "bring to 
life" a new approach to contemporary art by being 
closer to artists and work processes.

As an artist's residency devoted to innovation 
and engagement in the public sphere, ThalieLab is 
both an incubator and a platform for the 
production and dissemination of work that 
resonates with contemporay social issues.

In January 2018, the foundation will open 
ThalieLab, a private initiative of Nathalie 
Guiot, a collector, patron, curator and author. 
ThalieLab works on four axis: production support, 
artists residency, mediation and arts education 
program.
