Blind Date

What happens when one offers you a 245mm / 340mm piece of paper as your potential exhibition space? What happens when one also asks you to share this space with someone else?

Maybe this graphic novel explores some unexpected spaces producing the sense of a thing that has once been another thing.
This project is the result of a collaboration between Masterstudents of the Royal Antwerp Academy and Sint Lucas Antwerp.

The Major Camille Huysmans Award 2010

This TR became a publication that does not simply attempt to reproduce or complement the exhibition ‘Major Camille Huysmans Award 2010’ like a catalogue, but one that sheds new visual as well as textual light on it and, in that sense, can continue to function independently.

This publication is the result of a collaboration between the Royal Academy and Sint Lucas – both University Colleges Antwerp.
