Atelier Van Lieshout: Recycling as Art
Since 1995, Atelier Van Lieshout has operated as a hybrid enterprise producing architectural sculptures that transcend the art system. Rather than constructing, the studio focuses on reconstructing, inhabiting, and occupying new functions, envisioning alternative organizations. Bathrooms, gyms, and scaffolding become critical figures in politics and urban planning.
