Exhibition: 19.10.25—11.01.26

Jester proudly presents Ghostly Matters by Kenny Dunkan (°1988, GP) and Anthony Ngoya (°1995, FR). In this exhibition, both artists suggest that confronting the past may be the most urgent way to imagine the future. Through installation, sculpture, sound, and image, they question what is preserved, what is silenced, and how haunting renders absences visible.

The exhibition lends its title from writer Avery Gordon’s book Ghostly Matters (1997), where she indicates how haunting "alters the experience of being in time, the way we separate the past, the present, and the future."

Ghostly Matters shows new work by both artists, and marks Dunkan's first institutional presentation in Belgium. Ngoya's work has been produced during his residency at Jester.

Made possible by the Flemish Government, the City of Genk, Het nieuwstedelijk and Mondriaan Fonds. With the support of the French Embassy in Belgium and the Institut français, as part of EXTRA, a program that supports French contemporary creation in Belgium.
