  • Residency period: Autumn 2024
  • Individual Residency

Laura De Jaeger lives and works between Tallinn and Brussels. Her practice is focused on objects and sites that are currently resting. Through gathering and paraphrasing, she checks in on ways stories can charge or reshape them. She works with physical materials as well as writing and inviting. De Jaeger holds an MA in fine arts from LUCA School of Arts /EKA, and an MA in cultural studies from KU Leuven. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across Belgium, Estonia, Finland, and Germany. In 2024, she was awarded the annual prize from the Cultural Endowment of Estonia. Alongside her practice, she works at the Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM), teaches at the Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn, and is an exhibition guide at WIELS, Brussels.

The residency is supported by Flanders State of the Art.
