| Summary: |
"Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL), established in 1995 by Joep van Lieshout, is a multi-disciplinary collective that engages in conceiving and producing contemporary art, design and architecture. This richly illustrated publication provides an overview of AVL's often provocative work: from art objects, items of furniture and mobile architecture to wholly self-sufficient survival campers, autonomous communes and surrealistic architectural projects. Atelier Van Lieshout includes highlights such as AVL-Ville, the Free State that AVL created in Rotterdam's port, the large scaffolding installation that mixes sport and sex Sportopia; The Technocrat, the large installation in which 1000 burghers are reduced to mere cogwheels in a system to produce biogas; and the sinister Utopian project SlaveCity, a 21st-century concentration camp with just one purpose: to make profit. With essays by art critic Jennifer Allen, architecture and design critic Aaron Betsky, sociologist Rudi Laermans and architecture historian Wouter Vanstiphout."--Jacket |
