Meet Flap and Flop. — They are two comedians from Bilzen, a village in Limburg. Flap and Flop’s jokes are so bad that no one wants to hear them. If Flap tells a joke, only Flop laughs, and vice versa. They travel from village to village in their cart. Sometimes Flop stands on the cart, and sometimes Flap. They go to the places where there are fairs and markets, and try to draw people’s attention by singing loudly or shouting jokes. [...] __ These characters were created in 2019 by Jos de Gruyter & Harald Thys. The artist duo has the habit of distilling fictions from a reality that is, sometimes, ‘too real’. Both willingly concede that they feel attracted to the psychotic state of contemporary society, a state that they simultaneously dread and reflect in their work. Flap and Flop and The Fool are part of the current exhibition *Museum in Motion* — on view until 8 January 2023. @josdegruyterandharaldthys #museuminmotion #muhkamuseum
