HISK
– Hoger Instituut voor Schone Kunsten / Higher Institute for Fine
Arts
Advanced
Studies & Practice-based Research in Visual Arts
The
HISK offers a postacademic course in audiovisual and visual arts. The
institute provides 24 young artists from Belgium and abroad with
a studio of their own for two years.
The emphasis at the institute lies on individual
practice. The programme aims to achieve a practical balance between study
in the studio, discussions with visiting lecturers, workshops, reading
groups, field trips, and public presentations. The international and
culturally diverse composition of the candidate laureate group makes
for cross-pollination and dialogue.
The diversity of the international visiting lecturers (artists, curators, critics, theoreticians...), provides a framework within which the candidate laureates learn to view their own work with a critical eye. The unique HISK concept allows participants every opportunity to invest in critical research for their work within a broader artistic, cultural, and societal context.
At the end of the two years, the artist receives a ‘Laureate of the Higher Institute for Fine Arts’ certificate.
Since 1997, 184 laureates have graduated from the institute. The majority of them are now pursuing successful professional careers in the international art world.

affinity.
The admission committee is composed of international visiting
lecturers from a variety of backgrounds. They make a pre-selection
from the submitted portfolios, and the candidates who make it through
are invited for an interview regarding their motivations and
expectations. After a period of evaluation and careful consideration,
the committee then makes a decision as to whether the applicant is
suitable.
The conceptual and visual qualities in the works submitted by applicants are considered to be more important than style, material or technique. Participants are expected to have a strong commitment to conducting critical research within their respective fields of interest. At the same time, they should aim towards locating their practice within a broader perspective of social and cultural environments. Candidates are also expected to make a contribution to the activities of the HISK as a whole. This interaction is seen to be an important forum of exchange and development.
