ATELIER VAN LIESHOUT
Sculpture and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias.
He seeks to find the boundaries between fantasy and function, between fertility and destruction.
His works share a number of recurring themes, motives, and obsessions: systems, power, autarky, life, sex, and death
Atelier van Lieshout is the eponymous studio of Dutch sculptor Joep van Lieshout, who has gained international recognition for sculptures and installations that pose fundamental societal questions.
Technocrat Coffee Table shows a scale model of The Technocrat, a closed circuit system developed by AVL to produce food, alcohol, and energy.
The concept is similar to one of his largest projects to date,
My analysis:
I was impressed by the logic and detail of his work and could see that he was expressing a systematic theme through this method.
But not really understanding why he used a table as a vehicle of expression?
