23 mai 2008 Joep Van Lieshout

Fondateur de l’Atelier Van Lieshout invité à l’occasion de l’exposition AVL à la galerie Jousse Entreprise (24/05 -31/07/08). Avec ses projets AVL réinvente la notion de « frontières », effaçant de la sorte celles qui séparent l’artiste de l’urbaniste, du promoteur, du manager, voire du gouverneur et du politicien.

Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL) is a multidisciplinary company that operates internationally in the field of contemporary art, design and architecture. AVL was founded in 1995 by Joep van Lieshout. The name Atelier Van Lieshout emphasises the fact that the works of art do not stem solely from the creative brain of Joep van Lieshout, but are produced by a creative team. The works of art are practical, uncomplicated and substantial. The work varies from sculptures and furniture, bathrooms and mobile home units to complete architectural refurbishments. One of the many applications and techniques used by AVL are the large polyester constructions in striking, bright colours. These polyester constructions, of which the large mobile home units are the best known, form the AVL trademark. For a number of years now the focus has no longer been on standardised, made-to-order furniture, but has shifted to works of art that can be used for a selfsufficient and independent lifestyle. In addition to this development and the production of applied art, the Atelier also realises many autonomous art projects.
