Our final book project of the year. Resurrection Blues gathers 2,300 images ranging from the detritus of art history to hypnagogic flashes—into a speculative encyclopedia. A frame-by-frame genealogy of shapes, textures, and unrealized abstract movements. Painter Mil Ceulemans, whose hands-on practice was interrupted by illness, reactivates decades of intuition through image generators. His painterly instincts now collide with lightning-fast computational systems shaped by online styles, collective expectations, and the shorthand aesthetics of pop culture. What emerges feels like an unlikely germination: code and intuition intertwine like mycelial strands, producing image-spores whose meaning unfolds slowly—through layers of gesture, colour, composition, and surface. Part inquiry into authorship, part archive of half-remembered or fictional schools, Resurrection Blues offers a stroboscopic glimpse into an artistic process that is both deeply rooted and constantly mutating.

With a literary reflection by Peter Terrin and MRCS.

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.
