Jubilee

Jubilee was first established as a dialogue among artists and cultural workers in 2012 in Brussels. Since then it has evolved into an artist-run platform that provides continuous support for the work of six artists, while hosting others on a project base. Jubilee’s focus is twofold. First, it is an organisation for the production of the work of these artists, where research and collaboration are considered essential values. Second, these shared interests lead to collective research projects that focus on the conditions of artistic production.

Justin Bennett, Eleni Kamma, Vincent Meessen, Jasper Rigole, and Vermeir & Heiremans work in diverse media but always on a basis of collaborative research that brings in transversal knowledge from a wide range of humanities. For the Jubilee artists, collectivizing and sharing partnerships has been an opportunity to use the benefits of networks, visibility and other resources, while alleviating the responsibilities of fundraising, bookkeeping and legal costs. But Jubilee remains primarily a platform for content exchange and discussion. Together, the artists constitute Jubilee’s collective artistic direction.
