Organisatie

CIAP

CIAP is a platform for contemporary art, founded in 1976 by a citizens’ collective and
based at C-mine — a revitalised mining site in Genk, a stone's throw from the Dutch and German borders.CIAP’s organisational structure is based on the model of the Kunstverein (art association). In this framework, CIAP organises exhibitions, lectures, artist talks, studio visits and excursions, and regularly produces editions.

CIAP is structurally supported by the Flemish Community within the framework of the

Kunstendecreet (Arts Decree) and is currently working, in consultation with the city of Genk, on a close collaboration with FLACC – workplace for visual artists. Together, they are going to realise a new infrastructure on the C-mine site, designed by the architectural office 51N4E, and planned for 2022.

In this new context and with these exciting prospects in sight, CIAP invites artists,

curators and researchers to reflect on urgent topics of today and to let themselves be inspired by its exceptional environment. CIAP believes in cross-fertilisation between the various artistic disciplines and that in collaboration with local, provincial, national and international partners (see CIAP's mission).
