Liam Gillick



Personal website


Né en 1964, à Aylesbury, Angleterre. Vit et travaille à New York et Londres.
Liam Gillick questionne les structures et architectures qui nous entourent et modèlent nos comportements. Ses oeuvres, en apparence fonctionnelles, sont des espaces potentiels, des plateformes destinées à accueillir tout type de relation interhumaine. Il interroge également avec humour l’utilité, la fonction réelle de l’art et de ses formes dans notre société, qui devient dans sa pratique davantage un lieu de réflexion, de débat et de discussion.
