OUT SITE_04
Atelier Van Lieshout Bar Rectum | Bikini Bar | Darwin
March 5–May 2, 2010
Opening: March 4, 2009–5.30 p.m., MQ, Hof 8
The artist collective Atelier Van Lieshout (AVL), founded by Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout in 1995 locates his art production at the interface of art, architecture and design. His contradictory sculptures thematize the displacement of questions about functionality, aesthetics and power relations in an inventive and humorous way and are also known to a wider public in Vienna.
As part of the sculpture project OUT SITE _04, the MUMOK is presenting three large partly walk-in, useable and playable objects in cooperation with the MuseumsQuartier. In the interior courtyard of the MQ the BarRectum, a sculpture in the form of a huge digestive organ, is at once an invitation and an event location. The oversized, violet sperm by the name of Darwin, also in the courtyard, offers a bed and a small table inside. In the forecourt of the MQ the Bikini Bar, a female torso in bikini, offers a look at her illuminated interior.
