The TURNER 1775-1851 Show

The exhibited works are inspired by the catalogue of the exhibition ‘TURNER 1775-1851’ of J. M. W. Turner at the Tate Gallery, London from 16 November 1974 until 2 March 1975.

The catalogue was bought in a second-hand bookshop in Brussels for 4,- €.

The 650 titles from the catalogue are fed into an AI Image Generator Machine Learning Model with prompts for abstract, colourfield, brutalist, geometric paintings in hi-res images. Then all the works are published on performan.org, Instagram, X, Facebook, Reddit and Bluesky.

The generated images are finally used to create derivative works: eight 3D models, ten HQ UV-prints, ten ‘made-in-China’ paintings, four CNC carvings, forty-six Polaroids, one View-Master, and twelve Multi-colour 3D prints.



Sunday 14th of September 2025 -> Sunday 12th of October 2025 in Aaimachine, Statiestraat 74, Berchem, Belgium.
