Art meets Science: Residencies Artists at Maastricht University | Spring 2026
Curious about what happens when artists and scientists meet? Especially on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Maastricht University and the 65th anniversary of the Hustinx Foundation, two artists have been selected for a special residency.
In the coming months, Sanne Vaassen and Alessio Faustini will connect their artistic practice with the research taking place at Maastricht University. They will present the result of this during the Pleasure, Art & Science (PAS) Festival, which will take place from September 3 to 5, 2026, in and around the university buildings.
For this residency, Sanne Vaassen (website) focuses on internal bodily processes and the way these are recorded, visualized, and interpreted within scientific research, in particular epilepsy research. She collaborates for this with Ron Heeren from the Maastricht Multimodal Molecular Institute (M4i).
In collaboration with Dr. Joris Roosen from Tracé – Limburg Society Archive and Manuel Boessen, archivist at Maastricht University, Alessio Faustini will conduct research into the early period of Maastricht University and its relation to the mine closures in the Western and Eastern Mining Districts.
