Jester

Jester is an organization for contemporary art and culture in Genk, Belgium. Jester was born out of the merger between CIAP and FLACC, two independent organizations who focused on development (FLACC - workspace and residency program) and presentation (CIAP - mainly focused on solo exhibitions). The name Jester was chosen for the special role a court jester plays in relation to the king/the one in power. Jester will open its new buildings (one to stay, one to work, and one to present) in the fall of 2023. Until that moment, Jester will work from two locations that are connected to two former mine sites in Genk.
