Spiegelgrond

Spiegelgrond (Mirror Ground) is the poet-in-residence programme of the Van Eyck. Each year two poets are invited to take up a one or two month residency. They participate in the programme, interact with the other participants and present their work. The institute’s shared mirror ground will express and reveal the similarities and differences of the works and creative processes of poets, artists and designers.
