Joep van Lieshout (Artist’s Talk)
@ The Art Institute of Chicago, Rubloff Auditorium
230 S. Columbus Drive, Chicago, IL
Opening Monday, March 7th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
In 1995 Joep van Lieshout founded his studio Atelier Van Lieshout, and since then he has been working under the studio’s name to undermine the myth of the artistic genius. Throughout the past two decades, Atelier Van Lieshout has produced works that straddle art, design, and architecture, such as sculpture and installations; buildings and furniture; and utopias and dystopias. What these works have in common are a number of recurring themes, motives, and obsessions such as systems, power, autarky, life, sex, and death. Atelier Van Lieshout has exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Hayward Gallery, London; and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. Presented in partnership with the William Bronson and Grayce Slovet Mitchell Lectureship in the Department of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Designed Objects.
