THE QUARANTINE EDITION 

2020

The world is currently facing an extraordinary situation. How do artists experience and view the Corona crisis? Artists responded promptly by activating the empty billboards in the empty streets. We are all facing the same crisis, confronted with others and with ourselves. Art can depict those feelings and give hope.                              

We are present and this is our contribution.

INSIDE THE BILLBOARD PROJECT

2018

Inside the Billboard Project was an exhibition of a collection of artworks, documentation and research of the Billboard Project Antwerp from 2007 to 2017. 

This exhibition took place in the Lange Zaal of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and was curated by Natali Sarkisyan, Els De Vos and Tine Poot

Works of art, placed in public space, are seen daily and are therefore interpreted by the general public. Art stimulates communication between different social groups. Art can be socially involved and often shows a surprising view of society.

When Art Seeks Understanding: The Billboard as a Meeting Point

2016

In 2016, the Billboard Project became The Meeting Point, where artists, art students, architecture students and the public could meet and give their opinion about their perception of art. This edition of the Billboard Project Antwerp investigated whether the artistic meaning of a work can influence our daily lives by displaying and interpreting an artwork in public space.

This project was made in collaboration with artist Natali Sarkisyan and Sanja Tomic, Pr.dr.Els De Vos and her students from the University of Antwerp, PhD Tine Poot and students from The Fine Art Academy in Antwerp.

BILLBOARD PROJECT III

2011

The 3’rd edition of the Billboard Project Antwerp went further than ‘just being an open air-exhibition ‘. We became interested in the way the general public perceived the artworks: the billboards were constantly changing during the course of the project, depending on the time of day, the light and of course the viewer.

We have noticed the interest of the general public and came up with the idea of visual research.
