IN Touch — Onboards Biennale 23

Inbox

17 Jul - 24 Aug 2025

In the summer of 2025 Muhka presented a selection of 20 billboard posters by international artists in its INBOX space (5th floor). The posters came from the seventh edition of the Onboards Biennale, which in summer 2023 transformed Antwerp’s urban landscape with 2 × 100 artworks displayed across the city.

+++ This exhibition ran from 17 July to 24 August 2025. +++

The selected works reveal the richness and diversity of that edition. Each poster was an artistic intervention in public space – poetic, socially engaged, playful or reflective – and now takes on a new context within the museum.

De Onboards Biennale

The Onboards Biennale is an international platform for contemporary art in public space. Billboards in the public domain are used as a medium for image, text, activism and imagination – visible day and night to all passers-by.

This transforms public space into a place of wonder, confrontation and reflection. By bringing art quite literally into the street, the Biennale makes art more accessible.

IN Touch

The theme of the 2023 edition was IN Touch. It was not only about physical contact, but about building connections – with yourself, with others, with the city and with art. Art was used as a way to spark conversation, to view the world differently and to question fixed ideas.

Artists

Floris Van Opstal, Quinten Clause, Jan Tromp, Victor Verhelst, Arthur Saint-Rémy, Kaat Neyrinck, Angela Xu, Jürgen Addiers, Danielle van Ark, Yuxi Lu, Julia Tröscher, David Boon, Rino Vranken, Emilio de Azevedo, Elvis Borrey, Sven Laurent, Niels Beaufays, David Somers, Eileen Cohen Süssholz, Elise Willems

Also in the streets: Onboards Biennale 2025

From 14 to 28 July, the work of contemporary artists could once again be encountered on billboards throughout the city. The 2025 edition of the Onboards Biennale brought new billboard-sized artworks into the streets. This edition focused on Relationships, exploring how we connect to each other, to the city and to the images that surround us.
