In 1985, Ruimte Morguen organised Het Onding Kunst, a programme series that would ultimately consist of 17 exhibitions. How dit you came up with the idea for this project? 
“After the exhibition of Wilchar, we collaborated with Paul De Vylder. He exhibited his Unsolved Media Mysteries in the space, and we kept in regular contact. We shared a fascination with images co-opted by society, particularly in the form of propaganda and advertising. At the time, I was still interested in folk art and ‘peripheral’ art, such as children’s drawings. When the idea for Het Onding Kunst arose, we wanted to link it with a magazine. This became Fase 2. Tijdschrift voor Beeldvervorming [Phase 2. Journal for Image Distortion]. The editorial team consisted of the project group members, together with, among others, Lieven de Cauter. Later, Jan Ceuleers also joined.” Marc Schepers
