Brutalistische Aap

2023

Bronze
250 x 260 x 380 cm

“Brutalism is back,” headlined The New York Times on October 6, 2016. The article was about the revival of an architectural style that had long been ignored because it was perceived as bulky, bare and almost inhumane. But after years of postmodernist frills and bloodless corporate office buildings, appreciation for straightforward brutalism is on the rise again.

This is evident in the redevelopment plans for De Bunker, the most outspoken example of Brutalism in the Netherlands and in keeping with the no-nonsense character of the city of Eindhoven. The BunkerTower is literally based on the crude colossus from 1969. That stark foundation turns out to be fertile ground for architectural and urban renewal.

The Brutalistische Aap [Brutalist Monkey] from Atelier Van Lieshout is the suitable mascot for such stylistic durability. Its rough forms are similar to the unfinished concrete of Brutalism, but gently hint at the curves of Art Deco. Strength and zest for life go hand in hand. The geometric shapes that sit on the monkeys body like architectural bulges emphasize the utilitarian rationality that ultimately drives him.

The Brutalist Monkey is a Bokito who doesn’t let himself go crazy. And he is a King Kong who does not hesitate to climb the tower to repel the air attacks of his puny opponents.

Monkey business. Going ape. Monkey see, monkey doo. Making a monkey of someone. Monkeying about. The mammals that are genetically the most closely related to humans are regularly put in the spotlight in the English language. In proverbs and sayings, the word “monkey” almost always carries the implication of unruly behaviour and even wantonness.

But that is a combination that actually fits Brutalism well. The appearance of The Bunker is unpolished and incredibly direct – thus particularly suited to the student groups that were the original users and undoubtedly monkeyed about.

That characterization also applies to the building’s architecture, Huig Maaskant. For his most famous design, the Groot Handelsgebouw in Rotterdam, he provided interior streets so wide that he could drive his own car, an enormous American muscle car, through the building. He silenced critics by saying, “You remind me of my wife. For the last twenty-five years, she has also been looking for shoes that are big on the inside and small on the outside.”

The monumental qualities of Maaskant’s architecture are now widely recognized. The Bunker is even getting a second life as a pedestal for a contemporary tower. It emphasizes the historical value and timeless power of this primal building and conveniently mirrors how we as humans evolutionarily stand on the shoulders of apes.

Since the beginning of modern society, rats have played a role in culture and science. The animals often invoke a sense of fear and horror. Atelier Van Lieshout however would like to stress the positive sides of the rat. They are considered highly intelligent, are adaptive if the environment changes, agile and sensitive, and very able to take care of themselves. Considering these positive notions, one could easily see the human side of the animal. The rat could be envisioned as the animal of the future; an animal that will always be here; an animal that we should look upon as a friend instead of a foe. This is a rat offering his tail , a friendly rat – generous and , makes himself vulnerable by offering his own tail.

Hospital Bed

2022

Mixed media
340 x 160 x 240 cm

Hospital Bed belongs to the series ‘Le Voyage’, a group of works that together speak about a journey to a better world, a place beyond the horizon where the grass is always greener. The fictional pioneers follow their hearts and the flimsiest of gameplans: anything goes and let’s see what happens. They have no clue where they are going, but they are going, roaming in search of paradise or the next utopia, ready for anything. Their expedition gear take all-purpose and all-inclusive to the next level. Why make a selection when you can bring absolutely everything, from questionable toolkits, an overly large cooking station to a shrine and prosthetics. Luxury is found in abundance, not in quality: the packs are made with suboptimal materials and assembled in a happily chaotic manner.

Hospital Bed (2022) was part of the following exhibition(s):
Light in the Darkness, Krinzinger Schottenfeld, Vienna (AT), 2022

Since his beginnings, Joep van Lieshout has chased, changed and shaped the borders of art, design and architecture. In his latest series, RENEGADE, instead of performing the act of either artist or designer, Van Lieshout turns any object that he gets his hands on – even his own existing sculptures – into a designer lamp. Making every work as (in)valuable as the other. With RENEGADE, being both functional and accessible, Van Lieshout defines art on his own terms, and challenges the market while giving it what it wants.

Twins (2019) was part of the following exhibition(s):
Light in the Darkness, Krinzinger Schottenfeld, Vienna (AT), 2022

Atomic Floor Lamp Small

2013

Rolled steel
80 x 80 x 76 cm

A sculpture of a diagram of the nutritional diet in JVL’s project Slave City. ”It’s about finding balance between volumes and masses between sculpture space.”

SlaveCity can be described as a sinister utopian project which is very rational, efficient and profitable (7,8 billion euro net profit per year. Values, ethics, esthetics, moral, food, energy, economics, organization, management and market are turned upside-down, mixed and reformulated and designed into a town of 200.000 inhabitants, an up-to-date concentration camp set up according to the latest technology and management insights. The inhabitants (which are called participants) work 7 hours a day in call-centre office jobs, such as customers service, ITC, telemarketing and computer programming. After that, they work 7 hours in the fields or in workshops, in order to keep SlaveCity running, before being allowed three hours of relaxation and seven hours of sleep. The efficiency of the participants is monitored accurately and appropriate measures are taken if it drops under a set level.

Atomic Floor Lamp Small (2013) was part of the following exhibition(s):
Light in the Darkness, Krinzinger Schottenfeld, Vienna (AT), 2022

The Head

2022

Copper
550 x 550 x 1000 cm

To celebrate its sixtieth anniversary, the University of Twente unveiled a special work of art on Thursday, 19 May 2022: The Head. This 10-metre tall creation by artist Joep van Lieshout has been given a prominent place at the entrance to the university grounds.

Visitors can not only see the work of art from the outside, but can also climb into it. A narrow staircase takes you to a platform on top of the head, where you have a view over the campus on the one hand and the Kennispark on the other.

The Head marks the possibilities and dilemmas on the eve of the fourth industrial revolution, when the boundaries between the physical, digital and biological worlds are blurred. The sculpture is a monument to the waning of human dominance. A totem that marks the crossroads where we are now and a lookout to the future.

Tronende Moeder

2021

Bronze
38 x 40 x 60 cm

Of all the saints, Mary became the most popular in Christianity during the Middle Ages. She was depicted countless times, often as the virgin with the young Christ child in her lap. She embodies hope and love, much needed qualities in the millennium between the end of the Western Roman Empire and the dawn of the Renaissance.

The Dark Ages are often viewed as a period of regression. The artistic knowledge that enabled the ancient Greeks and Romans to create perfectly sculpted bodies had been lost. Nevertheless, the primitive Medieval Marys with child have great emotional power in Joep van Lieshout’s eyes. His own version is an ode to that primal expressivity made from amateur-grade materials by purposely denying academic skills.

Tronende Moeder (2021) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘Utopia‘, Château Saint-Maur, Saint Tropez (FR), 2022
EHBO, Galerie Ron Mandos, Amsterdam (NL), 2021 – 2022
