Lieven Meyer : Boxes Seen AsTools Anon. Lieven Meyer : Boxes Seen As. Montréal, Qc: ARPRIM Regroupement pour la promotion de l'art imprimé.
Abstract (English)"BOXES SEEN AS is an installation of transitory form, dealing primarily with industrial prints on packaging from the food industry. Besides its sculptural approach, the work also includes sound as a medium. In the context of the 1 Super-Market Lieven Meyer reflects on the political and historical signification of western’s society’s industrialized global markets, in which, via boxes, print and sculpture play a subordinate and compliant role, similar to propaganda art. Their ideological reference is the human body and its industrially engineered shape and environment inside a perfectly functioning system. Within their permanent cycle of transformation and in a multi sensual way, the exhibition invites the spectator to experience the technocratic aspect of printed matter on corrugated paperboard boxes." -- Publisher's website.
