Vrijstaat: Atelier Van Lieshout

Installation Views
Press release

Vrijstaat forms an autonomous occupation of the grounds of Kasteel Keukenhof by Atelier Van Lieshout and is on show from June to October 2014.

On June 1, the solo exhibition Vrijstaat by Atelier Van Lieshout will open on the grounds of Kasteel Keukenhof. The exhibition presents a diverse and broad selection of work from the studio, from different time periods. In line with one of the major and recurring themes in the work by Atelier Van Lieshout, the works will manifest as a settlement around Kasteel Keukenhof and enter into a relationship with each other.

The works that were chosen for the exhibition offer a reflection on social structures, systems, and notions of self-sufficiency. On show are, amongst others, the installations Cradle to Cradle and Technocrat, and works from the latest series of works by Atelier Van Lieshout, New Tribal Labyrinth. Part of this series, and on view for public display for the first time, are the monuments to the machinery of the industrial revolution, including a ten-meter high steam hammer in brightly colored polyester.

A catalog will be published in conjunc­tion with the exhibition.

Vrijstaat is generously supported by the VSB fund, SNS REAAL Fund, Mondriaan Fund, Prins Bernard Culture Fund, Municipality Lisse, Kasteel Keukenhof and Kasteel Keukenhof Art Foundation.
