Atelier Van Lieshout’s Blast Furnace Cabinet shows a domestically scaled version of his Blast Furnace (2013), a 40-foot tall factory-like structure of pipes, chimneys and industrial chambers alongside sleeping quarters, a kitchen and toilets. From Van Lieshout’s New Tribal Labyrinth series, the works investigate the confluence of industry and domesticity, attempting to find utopian ideals within a hybrid capitalist-tribal environment.
