ResearchLabs 2025
7 — 8 February 2025
Students from different art academies and universities are asked to put together a programme featuring their own work and films from Eye’s collection. ResearchLabs do not follow a strict format and often result in a cultural crossover between film and other art forms.
During the yearly ResearchLabs presentations, Eye is a hub for students of academies and universities who flock to present their own work and view that of others.
The academies participating in the ResearchLabs are Sandberg Institute, Piet Zwart Institute, Rietveld Academie, Leiden University, Royal Academy of Art, University of Amsterdam, Master of Film (Netherlands Film Academy), AKI (ArtEZ), VR Academy and Master Institute of Visual Cultures (St. Joost School of Art & Design).
ResearchLabs 2025
ResearchLabs 2025 takes place on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 February. On both days ( Friday 17:00 - 21:30, Saturday 13:30 - 21:30), you can visit The Onion Effect by VR Academy in the IJ Lounge upon presentation of a cinema ticket to any ResearchLabs presentation.
Now and soon in Eye
Once all the works have been shown, the Cherry Pickers, a group of students from the academies, will award the best programme, the most urgent work, the most surprising work with a Cherry and also will award a Wild Cherry. The Cherries are designed and printed by artist Tibor Dieters.
