Tim Van Laere Gallery is pleased to announce Industrie (Industry), Atelier Van Lieshout's fourth solo exhibition at the gallery.
The exhibition is part of Atelier Van Lieshout's large project the "New Tribal Labyrinth series" in which the recurring themes of work organization, power structures and revolution are mixed up with autarky, proposing a new tribal organization.
The New Tribal Labyrinth is a proposition for an alternative world organization by an imaginary tribe. Farming, Industry, and objects for rituals are the 3 main bodies of work of this huge 'Gesamtkunstwerk".
Industry: shows a reinvention of the factories and installations of the industrial revolution. Large scale sculptural/technical installations are made in an improvised style with contemporary materials.
Farming, the second column of the New Tribal Labyrinth, with is end goal a huge life size farm that consist of many other farms that are connected with tunnels, corridors, doors and hatches. Shows farms from the pre-history, year zero, middle ages, golden age, post-war modernist utopia and the future
The last column Tribe, reflect upon our extremely advanced and complex society in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role.
