Het Kiek is a fairly new, artist-run organisation founded in November last year by 5 roommates who live above the exhibition space. This space is essentially a garage that obtained the necessary qualities to become something more than just a free parking spot. It is located behind Central Station at Provinciestraat 116, two doors down from Kunsthal Extra City with whom they have built a neighbourly bond. So far their mission has been to provide a modest platform for various artists where they can have verbal and visual dialogue with one another. A space for exhibitions, installations, performances and everything in between.
The founders of ‘Kunsthuis’ Kiek are: Brend Van Dijck (Theater-maker, performer and cultphenomenon), Roel Segers (Visual Artist, Photographer and Bathroom expert), Robin Adriaens (Visual Artist, Illustrator and amateur graphic designer), Fanny Wellens (Visual Artist, Latex Lover and Queer Queen) and Alice Kok (Heritage researcher, Ceramics Restorer and Fashionista).
