Atelier Van Lieshout opens studio for Rotterdam Art Week with Futurist-inspired project
Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL) opened its studio in Rotterdam for the city's art week, featuring the exhibition 'Happening' with works by Jason Page, Jennifer Caubet, Felix Burger, videos from the Hugo Brown Family Collection, and pieces by the Atelier itself. The foundation AVL Mundo, located in a former industrial building near Rotterdam, is named after the art brand founded by Joep Van Lieshout. During the event, Van Lieshout discussed a new project rooted in the Futurist movement, citing artists Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. He explained that Futurism's focus on technological and social transformation resonates with today's era of new technologies and tensions. The project involves machines that destroy objects, pressing them into liquid, while others deconstruct and construct new works. The experimental phase will culminate in a video composed of shorter clips. The studio is open until Sunday.
