At the invitation of Vleeshal, Jumping Fences, an exhibition project focusing on artistic development and collective curatorship by a group of students of KASK Curatorial Studies, came to Middelburg. In this project, artists, designers and curators experiment with exhibition frameworks. In February 2024, Jumping Fences opened at Het Paviljoen in Ghent, displaying a different artist or designer every month responding to the work of the previous person. At Vleeshal, all participants of Jumping Fences came together at the same time. Not just two pearls but the whole chain could be seen here.

Jumping Fences featured work by Haron Barashed & Lore Janssens, Sjoerd Beijers, Céleste Buyle & Quinten Vermeulen, Yawen Fu, Seppe-Hazel Laeremans, Paola Siri Renard and Jan Vandeplancke. At Vleeshal, several works came together to hint at what was on view at Het Paviljoen.
