ONBOARDS BIENNALE 2025 is an exhibition of contemporary art presented on billboards. In July 2025, works by nationally and internationally established and emerging artists—as well as master’s students from Sint Lucas and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp—will be on view 24/7 across various billboard locations throughout the city of Antwerp.
RELATIONSHIPS, rooted in relatio—“to bring back” or “reconnect”—are fundamental to the creation of meaning. They link people, objects, and ideas, restoring connections and shaping our understanding of the world. ONBOARDS BIENNALE invites artists to explore the theme RELATIONSHIPS through social, environmental, cultural, and conceptual lenses, transforming public billboards into spaces of exchange between artists, audiences, and the urban landscape.

The typographic image, built around the basic shapes of the letters R and S, acts as a visual symbol of connection and interaction. The intersections of horizontal and vertical lines evoke the grid as a structural principle. This visual matrix represents not only interconnectedness but also the underlying organization of complex systems. The campaign visual was created through generative coding using p5.js, a coding framework.

With a love for proportion, our latest book project, A House to Live With, published by Park Books, has just arrived. This is the first comprehensive monograph on the houses designed by Dom Hans van der Laan and his companions, authored by Caroline Voet and Hans W. van der Laan.
Dom Hans van der Laan (1904–1991) is something of a cult figure in post-World War II architecture. A Dutch Benedictine monk and architect, he dedicated his life to exploring fundamental principles of architecture, and his ideas on numerical relationships and dimensional systems were highly influential in mid-20th-century architectural theory.
A House to Live With delves into the residential buildings designed by Van der Laan and his companions. Sixteen houses, built between 1966 and 1985, are meticulously documented with newly produced photographs and plans, and analyzed for their compositional and design principles. Essays in the book explore the mathematical relationships of numbers and volumes that are central to Van der Laan’s work, and discuss how his designs were influenced by ancient Roman architecture. The book also examines the relationship between house and garden and house and patio, and the positioning of the one large table in the house, which to Van der Laan was of key significance.

The Letterenhuis serves as the literary archive of Flanders. It brings people together around literary heritage by collaborating with many diverse partners to collect, preserve and disclose the collection. The previously large, empty space on the ground floor has been transformed into a dynamic public area. The Letterenhuis now welcomes visitors with a themed exhibition and includes a newly established reading room, workshop space, meeting room, shared office space, co-creation space, and writing room. The graphic design concept is rooted in the letter as the foundation for authorship and the genesis of literature. The terms ‘Letteren’ and ‘Letterenhuis’ are employed to create geometric patterns, called ‘Moving Type Structures’, which allude to the historical convergence of experimental typography and literature.

The artist book ECHTZEIT was created in close collaboration with Dirk Braeckman, in conjunction with his solo show at FOMU. ‘ECHTZEIT’ refers to Braeckman’s exploration of the intersection of the past and present. Simultaneously and in real-time, three perspectives converge: those of the original photographer, Braeckman himself, and us, the viewers. The book offers a unique glimpse into Dirk Braeckman’s most recent photographs, accompanied by selections from the museum’s collection and texts written by Clément Chéroux, director of the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Tamara Berghmans, curator at FOMU. The book’s design mirrors the structure of the exhibition, beginning with archive documents followed by 140 works by Dirk Braeckman and accompanying texts. The archives and texts are printed in two colors—silver and black—on Munken paper, while Arctic paper was chosen for the artworks. Graphic design by Reg Herygers. Published by Hopper&Fuchs, Bruno Devos.

The art of taking side ways, exploring the possibilities of two-dimensional forms in three dimensions. Shifting and evolving, moving back and forth between autonomous projects and more applied and functional designs. Happy end-of-year everyone!

“This is Casimir’s ‘truth’. The multifaceted ‘truth’ that he wants to formulate in and with this book. A book that wants to be an example of deconstruction in terms of its form, graphically and technically, and that wants to be open to self-fulfilment, for example by separating text and images. And like a Lego block, it is a book that aims to rekindle and stimulate the reader’s fantasy, just like Casimir’s furniture.” Marc Holthof
4 Texts / 4 writers. Each writer approaches the oeuvre from a different angle, based on their specialty. Francis Smets frames the works as furniture art, Marc Holthof`s text is based on multiple interviews with Casimir, Virginia Tassinari writes about Casimir`s layered work from a cultural-philosophical perspective and Fredie Floré reflects in a cultural-historical way on his furniture making.
The limited edition of The Book is with bookend named `Border.` Border places The Book across the border of the book row. Border is the semiotic translation of the main content of The Book.
Book published by Hopper & Fuchs, printed at Stockmans Art Books.

Om jongeren tussen 10 en 20 jaar preventiever te ondersteunen hebben we samen met TEJO en enkele andere organisaties een reizende belevingsexpo uitgewerkt. De expo WE(L) ZIJN JONG! focust op drie belangrijke thema’s: het persoonlijk welzijn van jongeren, hun rechten en waar ze hulp vinden wanneer ze het moeilijk hebben. De expo nodigt iedereen uit om op een creatieve en participatieve manier deel te nemen en te bouwen aan een beter welzijn voor álle jongeren. De belevingsexpo is nog tot 28 januari 2022 te bezoeken in het Maagdenhuis.
