Description

New Tribal Labyrinth offers a survey of works from the eponymous on-going project by Atelier Van Lieshout - the internationally recognised studio of Dutch artist Joep van Lieshout. This publication reflects on our extremely advanced and complex society, in which over-consumption and limited raw materials play a crucial role. In Atelier Van Lieshout's vision, this will lead to conflict and the subsequent emergence of a new world order, with groups of people organising themselves in tribes instead of nation-states. This new tribal world will see a return to farming and industry - which currently both have been banished from our society - and a re-establishment of our relationship with materials which now has been lost.
